oh dear

I'm really not sure what it says about me that I most feel the presence of God on the mornings when I get a really good parking space.

I mean, when I see a parking space hidden away just for me when a moment ago I was certain the lot was full, I just get this swelling of relief and a feeling that someone is watching out for me.

I seriously doubt God is concerned about my parking spaces, but it makes me feel better nonetheless.

"God is in the details"

I think whatever makes you happy, and if it makes you feel a connection to a higher power it's fine. :)

Unless it makes you feel the need to kill kill kill or something.

The Patron Saint of Parking Spots is... ? =)

There's no reason to think God doesn't care about your parking. God needs a hobby, after all.

The saying goes that God watches over the fall of a sparrow, so why not your parking spaces? Believe what you like. :)

cheers,

Interresting. I'm usually aware of the presence of God, when things aren't going well. I often think he's looking down and laughing sadistically, "Now learn from this little bit of pain, asshole! HA!'

That's my point of comfort regarding the current situation of our Legislature. I figure the Man has a reeaaaaallly snarky sense of humor, and He's going to let people get away with as much as they think they can, and then at some point He's gonna come down with The Awesome Poetic Justice and laugh until He falls down holding His sides.

If I equated God with the Federal Govt even as an metaphor I'd be forced to shoot myself, but thanks for the thought.

[xforge.livejournal.com]

No, not to equate them but to hope that there is a just reward waiting for presumptuous buffons such as they.

Oh right. You were refered God as "The Man" which confused my sleep deprieved, politically ambivalent brain

[whorlwind.livejournal.com]

actually from the mystic camp, things like that are a perfect way to build up greater faith in synchronicity in all things.. it's a great thing to do.

Oh, I went by that space earlier - the flaming writing in the air saying RESERVED FOR KELLINATOR was a dead giveaway.

Where I work, it takes an act of God to get a parking space that's within a 10 minute walk of the door. Once, I came in from a lunch appointment and got a spot 3 spots away from the entrance, and I swear I heard the angels sing.

They always say "God will provide". I don't really know who "they" are, but "they" do say it.

It's the little things in life, you know? The Devil's in the details, but God is also in the details.

[blistermoth.livejournal.com]

The lord works in mysterious ways no?

You should check to see if there's a space in my old parking deck, now that I'm gone. Much closer for you and you seem to have good parking karma today! :)

I'm trying to figure out what the Parking Gods want. Perhaps we can sacrifice a Hummer to them.

Gonna go with whorlwind on this one. It's the little things, the small blessings, that are easy to engineer. They're just lying around, after all. Someone has to get them, He might as well throw them to the faithful. Not that I'm saying he does, but if you feel like he's throwing them to you, I'm can only nod in agreement, having felt the same way before.

It's the major things like spontaneous cancer remissions that are in short supply.

I agree with that, and also when I park in a place that I shouldn't and don't get a ticket. It feels like a reminder that I am loved.

Actually, there is a diety of parking spots.

I was trained in the lore of the Great Urban Goddess Squat. Squat is the goddess of parking places. She will offer up a parking place in return for the appropriate sacrifice.

The appropriate sacrifice is a really, really bad joke. Squat likes BAD jokes. Real stinkers. The worse the joke, the better the parking spot that opens magically before you.

However, she doesn't like repeats, therefore her worship entails becoming a collector of truly horrible humor.

thank you! i was trying to remember her name. :o)

Next time you get drunk, I'm gonna roll you outside Mexico Lindo and STEAL that from you!

[ardentdelirium.livejournal.com]

I have similar feelings when Im late and all the traffic lights are green for me.

[flewellyn.livejournal.com]

That's just a manifestation of your own divine powers, for you are the Goddess of Snark.

[on-se-dit-tu.livejournal.com]

You sound like me...

[mizdandylynn.livejournal.com]

You might be surprised at how that might be in the scheme of things...
