Candy Crush Craziness

Everything has some value, even the poor, maligned mosquito (They provide great food for bats!). This month I had to be without my internet, in part due to travel, and i spent time with the global game - "played in all seven continents" - called Candy Crush. I reached Level 260 today ... Sometimes, during play, it gets frustrating when 25 moves to get ONE POINT never happens for a few days! The computerized game has its own logic and timing. But as I said, even bad things - boring games with no skill-requirement other than repeated play - have some uses. I had some good laughs when alone, and the Candy Crush "machine" gave me quick victories I did not earn. So I said to myself, aloud, "I am really great at this game!" Of course, there is a philosophical angle: We are under the GRACE of Jesus Christ, who actually paid for all our games, and it is folly to think, we are good at anything other than through GRACE of Jesus, the Original Manufacturer. (The Owner's Manual is ghe Bible). Some "DID U KNOW" info we see on the screen while the next game uploads, are also corny jokes: "Marmalade covers candy. It can be removed, but your fingers may become sticky." Thanks for that wisdom, too, Candy Crush.
