Proofs that God Is Good

Sometimes in the topsy-turvy world in which we live it becomes easy to believe in a Prime Mover, a Creator Who set the universe in motion and Who then sat back, detached from it all, and let us do our thing. That may be the case but recent political developments may suggest He had His hand in the mix.

What happened to Rahm Emanuel in Chicago on Monday was even worse than what happened to Chicago on Sunday when the Packers beat the Bears 21-14.

For Rahm, he was left stewing in his fish heads and regretting he ever left the cozy confines of his Chief of Staff office in the White House.

On Monday, the Cook County Appellate Court by a vote of 2-1 threw Emanuel off the ballot for the upcoming Chicago mayoralty election for failure to meet residency requirements for the office. Later, adding an exclamation mark to that decision, the Chicago Board of Elections ordered two million Rahm-less ballots for Election Day.
