Sarcasm: Gift From God

while reading Jeremiah when i was at the hospital, i discovered that, once and for all, God has a funny side. of course, in the context, it wasn't quite funny for the people He was be-wrathing but quite humorous for the onlookers.

overview of the context of this passage:
basically, God was speaking through/to Jeremiah about how the richer Israelites with Israli slaves were breaking a covenant/rules set by God with their forefathers concerning releasing Jewish slaves of theirs ever seven years. and so God is now talking to the unruly slave masters (bold added by me).

16 But now you have turned around and profaned my name; each of you has taken back the male and female slaves you had set free to go where they wished. You have forced them to become your slaves again.
17 "Therefore, this is what the LORD says: You have not obeyed me; you have not proclaimed freedom for your fellow countrymen. So I now proclaim 'freedom' for you, declares the LORD -'freedom' to fall by the sword, plague and famine. I will make you abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth.

- Jer 34:16-17

see? it seems man does reflect the image of God; it turns out more so than thought at first.

on another note, i hear rustling of a plastic bag. now, you might say, "why, that's hardly noteworthy information." but i say to thee, i am the only one at home. i look over to find my cat with a plastic bag strapped around her neck and under one of her front legs. funny. i hope she wasn't running around all day trying to get it off... i think i shall relieve her of her baggy now.
