Of God and Men

He created earth and heaven and established the laws even And then, ha! He rested His time fully vested... As an afterthought He made Men! ~A Limerick contest of Robert Haigh ~Mark Twain quote: "Man was made at the end of the week's work when God was tired." "Write with the wit of Twain" contest by Andrea Dietrich

That's what we have been told--but, who knows for sure, really! I liked Mark Twain's twist of humor in this and I believe we just have to take everything in life with a pinch of salt! Appreciate your observations.

Absolutely! We just believe what we are told--who's there to prove one way or the other! I see some truth in Mark Twain's words or why else would the world be in so much trouble?
