I have made my reference to “I Love Lucy”. Desi represents the popular idea of God and we are Lucy. It doesn’t matter what we do. God always makes allowance. Interesting fiction but deadly if believed.
A while back I saw our roadrunner in the yard. He went up the hill and shortly after that I saw one of our feral cats going down the hill. It got my mind working.
Wiley Coyote represents the liberals in the country. Maybe “feral cat” is also a good moniker. They hate the roadrunners for no special reason except that they are free and enjoying life. They repeatedly try to destroy the roadrunners. They keep coming back for more.
Unfortunately life is not a cartoon. I read that coyotes are actually faster than roadrunners. In that case many people are living in fantasy. The best defense the roadrunner has against Wylie Coyote is not his speed but the author of the script. He (or she, or they) decide how things will go. Thus instead of being turned into pieces of tenderized coyote steaks, Wylie stands with a puzzled look and a few singed hairs after the dynamite goes off in his hand.
Fortunately life is not a cartoon because the author of the script is not a crew that works out of Burbank with computer enhanced graphics. The entire screenplay is written by God. And like any good play the basic plot often lends itself to a bit of ad lib or unscripted tripping. Chances are you already have a copy of the Screenplay of Life packed away in a box or hidden in a drawer. You might read over the script and then get in contact with the author to audition for a part.
Something to think about as the script covers the annual celebration of the incarnation.
Merry Christmas

I consult my screenplay every day to remind myself how the story goes.
