The lot is cast into the heap, but the whole disposing there

Summary

This quote, often attributed to the Biblical Book of Proverbs (16:33), suggests that despite our human efforts and decisions, the ultimate outcome or destiny is controlled by a higher power, often referred to as the Lord or God. It is a reminder that while we can make choices and take actions, the final course of events is ultimately determined by a divine force. In other words, it implies that circumstances are not purely a result of chance or luck, but are instead under the divine governance or direction.

The attacks in Jordan, just like those before it in Indonesia, Egypt, Spain and the United States, demonstrate that terrorism does not discriminate by race, ethnicity or region. Instead, terrorists indiscriminately target those seeking to live a peaceful, loving and free life.

In North Carolina, I stopped to gas up at a Humble Oil stati

In North Carolina, I stopped to gas up at a Humble Oil station, then walked around the corner to use the toilet. There were two doors and three signs. MEN was neatly stenciled over one door, LADIES over the other. The third sign was an arrow on a stick. It pointed toward the brush-covered slope behind the station. It said COLORED. Curious, I walked down the path, being careful to sidle at a couple of points where the oily, green-shading-to-maroon leaves of poison ivy were unmistakable... There was no facility. What I found at the end of the path was a narrow stream with a board laid across it on a couple of crumbling concrete posts... If I ever give you the idea that 1958's all Andy-n-Opie, remember the path, okay? The one lined with poison ivy. And the board over the stream.
