Divine scatology

Manure is most operative in the way God works. From fig trees (Luke 13:6-9) to fidgety followers, patience is virtued. Fertilization takes time! Amputation--"Cut it down!"--is discouraged. Except in God's personal economy. "Crucify!" is condoned where he himself is concerned. Scat, sin! Win, losers! Unlike the scurrilous reports from The Gulf several years back, The Story is true. Beyond facts, it breathes fortitude--for us! And the "spread" continues. No instant gratification for God!
