Gods will... probably. Definitely.

I don't usually give God much thought, but something happened the other day that opened my eyes to all his miracles. A friend and I were browsing the Goodwill looking for bedazzled gaucho pants. (Is it a coincidence that Goodwill is one letter and a space away from Gods will? Eight ball says not likely.)

We were in the midst of trying on helmets, when The Safety Dance came on. I felt like I was in the middle of a music video. What else could better bring to life The Safety Dance then people shopping for lightly used safety gear? (Turns out a male model peasant, a wench and a midget minstrel dancing their King-Arthur-on-crack way to a medevilish festival).

Most people probably know, but for those that don't, The Safety Dance is sung by Men Without Hats. Which is funny, because helmets are hats (nine out of ten haberdashers agree!) and it doesn't get much safer then a helmet.* Is that just an accidental mixed message, or do Men Without Hats have a hidden agenda? I'm hoping their not trying to promote dancing with out a helmet. That's ridiculous.

By the by, we found the gaucho pants. Which brings me back to God's will at the Goodwill. What are the chances of being given the opportunity to dance The Safety Dance with helmets on? I would say zero, unless God wills it. Or you have a copy of the Safety Dance, a helmet and fierce desire to dance away danger.

*Actually it gets a lot safer then helmet. Elbow pads, knee pads, shoulder pads, shin pads, safety goggles, mouth guards, athletic cups.**

**Athletic cups are for sissies.
