Land Ho
I’ve been looking at housing lately, and how expensive homes can be in some parts of the country. One of the old sayings about buying real estate is that they aren’t making any more of it.
I asked God about that. I asked him if he could make an exception for me and make some new land. I knew he wouldn’t, but sometimes I just like to see what he’ll come up with as an answer.
He told me not to be absurd. He said he’s making new land all the time. Stars collapse and explode, creating new combinations of elements some of which go on to be parts of new planets. But what about here on Earth. Well, there’s almost always a volcano spitting up some new land somewhere, he told me. I pointed out that a new island of volcanic rock somewhere was hardly indicative of God being hospitable.
So he thought about it for a minute. Finally, he told me that I could always move north. The arctic, he pointed out, is starting to get a lot warmer.
