THE CLOTHESLINE

I didn't know that God has a clothesline until one morning when I was out for my daily walk. I was innocently walking along humming a tune when I noticed the big round beaming sun, which had just risen in the east, and was about a good four inches above the mountains. "Hum," I thought, "she is beautiful today." I continued my stroll, when much to my delight, I looked to the west and saw the moon. It, too, was large and round and glowing, and to my amazement, was about four inches above the mountains. "Wow," I thought, "he couldn't be more spectacular." So I continued my walk when I happened to look up and saw a jet stream across the entire canopy of the sky. Wonder of all wonders, it connected the sun and the moon together. "Wow," I mumbled, "that looks like a clothesline." And then, unbelieveably, I noticed five birds in a row suspended in air just below the jet stream. I could not believe my eyes. Those poor birds were obviously drenched and had to be hung out to dry. That's when I first discovered that God has a clothesline.
