The Rube Goldberg/Tim Tebow element

Seriously, I think when God started everything in motion at the very beginning, he had a pretty good idea what was going to happen from the git. It ain't all love and hate, feast and famine, right and wrong, life and death, in this Universe. Sometimes things just are. I just find it particularly funny and satisfying that Tim Tebow is someone alot of people love to hate and his main claim to fame above all else is he is this heavy duty Christian who attributes everything in his live to Gods grace. Then, when he supposedly is at the bottom and his critics are eating it up he suddenly goes on this unexpected tear and rattles off 8 (thus far) wins with "miracle like" qualities. I see some kind of confirmation in it all. It's not because I feel God actually gives a shit about football or even if that has anything to do with it at all. But as a Christian who believes Gods plan is way way over our heads at times I don't even pretend to act as if I know what he cares about and what he doesn't or even if there IS anything he doesn't care about. I feel the will of God is like a Rube Goldberg machine and it consists of all kinds of events and occurances that to us and our limited perspective can not make sense of it all. When the dominos fall and lead to a balloon that pops that leads to a car going down a track that sets a bowling ball in motion that sets off another thing....well maybe we see the baloon pop and that is all we see (which in our world could be a building exploding) and we say "why did this happen? How could God let this happen? When actually God knows exactly why it happened. It all comes to pass and in the end God gets his fried egg at the end of the machines performance. The fried egg at the end of the Rube Goldberg machine is God's will. How are we to know that God didn't touch that game just so people around the world like you and I could have a debate such as this and get closer to him? Jesus said where ever two or more are gathered in my name, there am I. Maybe you should be more open to the blessings in things you see as totally insignificant. Everything can be a lesson if we only open our eyes to it.
