The Lord will provide

Lord Kadizzle is not a great man of faith in the traditional sense. However, the Lord does work in strange ways, and often this is useful. Yesterday Lord Kadizzle set out to find a piece of 12 inch galvanized culvert. A project at Erin and Fran's required the culvert. Ideally Lord Kadizzle likes to get things at a discount, and the best discount is free. So first it was a stop at a contractors along the road. The contractor had no culvert. Next a trip to the dump. At the dump Lord Kadizzle had a session with the dump crew on how to make a hillbilly culvert out of fifty five gallon drums, or old five gallon water buckets. Realizing the hopelessness of such a concoction Lord Kadizzle left the friendly dump fellows and said to them " The Lord will provide a culvert".

Then next idea was to find a city or county shop that might have an old piece of culvert lying around, so Lord Kadizzle drove randomly around Evergreen, Colorado looking for the appropraite shop. With no luck finding the shop the truck started off on Bear Creek road. Kadizzle was drawn down the road by the homes of the prosperous in the mountians. After five miles of aimless driving there it was, the culvert. In the front yard of a home was about a ten foot piece of steel culvert. Kadizzle stopped at the home and asked the lady of the house if the culvert was for sale. Mrs. Housewife sent one of her minions to find dad working next door. Dad showed up and said indeed the culvert was for sale. The price was twenty dollars. Normally something like this would be at least two hundred dollars. With glee Kadizzle quickly said sold, only to discover he had no money in his wallet and Home Owners Inc. did not accept credti cards. At this point the kindly fellow said "Just take it'. Such a good deed could not go unrewarded so Kadizzle got his address and sent him the money. The story has two moral's 1) The Lord will provie 2) The Lord acts in strange ways. Lord Kadizzles God is not the one who has churches and wars and sends people to hell, but he is the one who will find you a culvert when you need one.
