Detramentall, the Pill That Does… Well, Too Much

In the town of Ker‑Plinket on Wobble‑Woo Way,
A doctor cried, “Try this! It’ll brighten your day!”
A pill called Detramentall, all stripey in blue,
“It fixes your hiccups! It freshens you, too!”

But the label was long, like a long-handled rake,
And the list of side effects made the townspeople quake.

You might:

  • Grow surprise antlers — just two or just ten
  • Speak fluent seagull from midnight to then
  • Float to the ceiling like helium air
  • Randomly moo at a store clerk, but that’s rare
  • Turn chartreuse and polka‑dot too
  • Forget your own birthday, then celebrate two

And the final line read, with a sinister thrill:
“May cause temporary death. But only if still.”

So the folks of Ker‑Plinket said, “Thanks, but we’ll pass.
We’d rather keep hiccups than moo when buying gas.”



Detramentall™ — Radio Commercial

Are you tired of minor annoyances like tangled earbuds, lukewarm coffee, or remembering that thing you said in 2014? Ask your doctor about new Detramentall™, the pill that may or may not help!

Detramentall works by stimulating the vibro‑nimbus receptors in your general attitude region, giving you the confidence to say, “Eh, good enough!”

But Detramentall isn’t for everyone. Or… anyone.

Side effects may include:

  • Unplanned yodeling
  • Sudden attachment to household appliances
  • Becoming slightly transparent
  • Aggressive jazz‑handing
  • Speaking only in riddles
  • Turning into a cloud for up to 12 minutes
  • And in rare cases… death.
    Like, actual death. But only on weekdays.

Do not take Detramentall if you are allergic to Detramentall, gravity, or the concept of Tuesdays.

Detramentall™ — because life is complicated…and this makes it more so.

Until a Person Finds God

My eye doctor informed me that my eyes will never get better, or go back to the way they were before the disease set in them.  He said, “All we can do is maintain them so you can continue to see.” I said, “So the only chance I have then is if God heals me.”  He didn’t say anything.  I continued, “I know God can do it, and I ask him to and thank him for the healing often.”  Still nothing from him.  Then I had the bright idea to ask, “What would you do if God did heal me and I came in with perfect vision?”  He thought, for an awkward amount of time and then stammered.  I said, “You would be speechless like you are now.”  Then he said something I will never forget.  He said, “Well, I know one thing, I would not contribute the reverse in your condition to God healing you!”  After he stepped out of the exam room I said, “Okay God, the stage has been set!”

I do realize it can be difficult for highly educated individuals, doctors, scientist, etc. to get out of their “natural mind”, and think on a “spiritual” level.  The issue is compounded if they struggle to believe in a God they can’t see. They would rather make something up, even if its not true then believe in God. For example; scientist have done that with the subject of evolution. God explains the issue like this:

Someone living on an entirely human level rejects the revelations of God’s Spirit, for they make no sense to him. He can’t understand the revelations of the Spirit because they are only discovered by the illumination of the Spirit. 1 Cor. 2:14 (TPT)

The ironic thing is this; when my eyes are healed the eye doctor will see God’s work done by his hand, which could be thought of as “seeing God”.

A co-worker of mine, many years ago, was trying to see if God was real.  He went on a trip to the Grand Canyon, saw his handiwork and immediately accepted him into his life. Regardless if people know it, or ever admit it, they are seeking God their whole life until they find Him. One’s spirit man desires and seeks to be reunited with the Spirit of God once they have sinned and separation sets in.

Please take my word for it, accept God is real, and that He loves you so much. For He is always there waiting for you to look up and see him and take his hand.
