Clint Eastwood and.. God?

In the beginning .. God said.. “Go ahead, make my day!”  6 times he said this.. and the world was created one day at a time (including the underrated task of distinguishing between NIGHT and DAY.).

Then on the 7th day there shall be football?  Ok, man created football and snuck it in on the first day of the week. Come to think about it now we now have FOOTBALL pretty much EVERY day of the week.

In creating the world I don’t think God did the Clint Eastwood squinty eye thingy, nor was GO AHEAD MAKE MY DAY originally a Clint Eastwood aka Dirty Harry line.  Bottom line is no one was shot when the world was created, and that it.. WAS GOOD.

Besides the creation of the world in six days, there are other parallels between Clint Eastwood and God. 

- David the ‘dirty hairy’ shepherd boy.. challenged Goliath in a manner that was undeniably Clint Eastwood-ish.  He may not have been armed with a .44 Magnum handgun the most powerful handgun in the world, BUT he did have a sling, a few stones, and most importantly had the one true God on his side.  So Goliath, do you feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?

- In Heaven Guardian Angel Joe has taken on a real 'Dirty Harry persona' ever since Heaven has been getting Cable TV.  see pic on right -->

- We find SHEEP boldly take on a Clint Eastwood-like unflinching boldness in the face of any lion like enemy. This is GREAT news for us sheep.

- Even Coffee Drinkers take the joyful message of Psalms 118:24 “this is the DAY the Lord has made (so GO AHEAD MAKE MY DAY), and let us rejoice and be glad in it!.. (but first… coffee) rings of Clint Eastwood.

Coincidence? I think not!  Here in the Back Pew we are not blind to the parallels in words and actions of Mr. Clint Eastwood, and.. Almighty God! 

So.. Is Clint a prophet?  Are the words of Mr. Eastwood  a divine providence for this fallen world offering hope and strength?.  Is the Clint Eastwood’s movie the UNFORGIVEN a prophetic warning to the demise of unrepentant evil men? 

Ok, odds are Mr. Eastwood is just a famous actor/director and not the return of Elijah.  But if Clint leaves this Earth someday in a Flaming Gran Torino I will then readdress this topic.

We can still learn a lesson today if we simply.. raise our hands to Heaven and pray believing God’s blessings and to be used as His servant in ways that are beyond my dreams.. by paraphrase AGAIN the words of Mr. Eastwood “Go ahead (God).. make my day!”  Anything less is settling for less than what God intends.

And if I am questioned by Clint Eastwood's other words.. "Do I feel lucky? Well, do you PUNK?"

My answer is "lucky?.. no I am BLESSED."
