“THE GOD BEFORE WHOM I STAND,” ELIJAH SAID. He didn’t need anything.
THE NEW TESTAMENT ELIJAH WAS CONTENT WITH A FUR COAT OF CAMEL’S HAIR, AND HE FEASTED ON HONEY AND HEALTH FOOD—THEY CALLED IT LOCUST PROTEIN. ELIJAH’S LIMOUSINE? A CHARIOT OF FIRE. ITS HORSEPOWER? ANGELS OF WIND. COMPUTER ACCESS? VIDEO-DIRECT TO THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE, YET NETWORKING EVERYWHERE IN ALL QUADRANTS INSTANTLY WITH SIMULTANOUS TRANSLATION OF ALL LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS. WARRANTY? ETERNAL. SECURITY? PERSONAL AND ABSOLUTE.
Can’t get much better.
(Food for thought: Actually, these are material terms used, but they aren’t really the ones that should be aspired for in the first place. It’s kind of like bragging of having the best mud pies or the highest anthills in the world.)
