Pastor G.J. West lived is a less than affluent part of Kansas City, Kansas. He didn't even own a home. While he was preaching Sunday, November 6, 2007, someone was taking a collection in his apartment. After arriving home from church that afternoon, he immediately knew something was amiss.

Burglars had broken into his apartment by cutting a hole in the ceiling and disarming the alarm. They got away with $200,000 worth of the pastor's jewelry.

What could I say that you are not already thinking?

[Correction] The date of the incident was November 6, 2005.

This is a recipe for G-d's will
Ingredients:

4 - 10" flour tortillas
1/3 lb roast beef
Canned corn
Grated cheddar cheese
Ranch dressing
Cayenne pepper
Sesame seeds

Directions:
Place equal portions of roast beef on the tortillas.
Sprinkle with a little grated cheddar cheese.
Sprinkle on a bit of corn (left over from last night)
One thin line of ranch dressing
Sprinkle a teensy weensy bit of cayenne pepper
Sprinkle a few sesame seeds just because I like them.

Put the tortilla and ingredients on a plate in the microwave oven for 20-30 seconds to barely melt the cheese and soften the tortilla enough to roll without cracking it.

Eat cold or hot or freeze for a later meal.

Feeds four. Cost is negligible.
You can substitute any ingredient except the tortillas.

How can this be G-d's will? I'm glad you asked.

I have never sent a message like this to anyone in email. I have never posted one on the Internet.

It's time.

If you understand what I am about to say, you may be one of the few.

My soul is troubled lately. Vexed might be a better word. I feel a message inside of me that MUST get out and I am not talking about writing some clever short story or novel or even a sonnet. Rather, I feel moved to grab people by the shoulders and shake them until their teeth rattle.

OK, OK! I know I've kicked off about reality TV programmes before, but this really is the limit!

What do you get when you put a Christian into a show like "Big Brother"? For those of you who don't know what that is ("Big Brother" that is - not a Christian), can I come and live with you..... please?
