Is that you God...you rang?

Ethiopian man hit by lightning!

 

For a while now I have been thinking about adding a religion, philosophy or something similar to the category list on the blog and I have been struggling what topic to start that section with. Well, when I came across this story the other day, my prayer, if you will, was answered. You might say it was sort of a divine intervention.

With that, and keeping up with the spirit of the sub-title to this blog, here is my first post in the area of religion/faith/philosophy etc... a nice icebreaker, if you will.
Are you ready for this?  An Ethiopian born man was hit by lightning on a clear sunny day while peddling religious items . And no, this is not from “The Onion”. Here are more sources, including TV.  Please Watch the clip.

Now, I’m not a religious guy, but isn't there a passage in the bible in John2:13-16 where Jesus turned over the tables of the money changers in the temple and pour their coins to the ground when he saw that they had made the temple a market place? Well, I guess Mr Kidane didn’t read what he was selling. Let's just hope he will recover fully.

2 - Chereka,
Very spooky! Things happened for reasons so, may be God is telling them that don't mix religion with "..pancake stuff" business. Poor Kidane! Wish him well.
FYI,
There's an artile in The New Yorker Magazine this week issue titled under A neuroligists notebook: A Bolt from the blue. (where do sudden intense assions come from? by Oliver Sacks. I found it very fascinating story.

All I say is that I am glad it is him than me. The recovery is left by the power upstairs. I got nothing to say anymore as it might have some effect up on me.

4 - Ouch. How shocking! Maybe he should start selling lightning rods, grounders, and static electricity novelty gags. I wonder if his friends call him 'sparky'? Hopefully he recovers and learns his lesson.
