Choices

We got this woman in town who is known for making bad decisions. She has married the wrong man, four different wrong men. Her garden doesn't progress because she plants things at the wrong time and in the wrong place. She has invested in several green energy companies that turned out to be more brown than green. At least twice she has confronted a hostile dog with biting consequences. She advised her oldest boy to drop out of med school to help her with a multilevel marketing scheme that was supposed to assure lifelong wealth for both of them. Once she showed up at prayer meeting wearing a mini-skirt (that was a long time ago, but none of the women have forgotten it.) She picks the wrong doctors, lawyers, and accountants. The other day she came up and sat at my table at the cafe with express purpose of having me agree that God had dealt her blow after blow. She asked me what she should do to overcome all her adversities. I advised her to settle in a quiet place, pray, consider all the possible solutions to any problem, and go out and do just the opposite. Do y'all think that was sarcastic? I wasn't trying to be sarcastic.
