For the last three days, I've felt like I received a spiritual spanking from the Lord. Not the kind of spanking I remember as a child - the hanging on to the bedpost in my parents room as the belt of correction was administered and my feet pranced like I was stung by hot pavement and my lungs exhaled sounds of excruciation as loud as any paid mourner could dream of exhaling.
