Helen:
Yes, exactly. But we can trust in His wisdom, and have faith that He is watching over us.

Dewey:
Like me with the anthill in my backyard. I spent days watching the ants, trying to figure out which ones were good, and which ones were bad, but they all just looked like ants, so I started smiting all of them.

Helen:
Well that's not -

Dewey:
I was smiting them with the garden hose, and with lighter fluid, and with the lawnmower, and to be perfectly honest, I think I went a little crazy with the shovel. Those ants could have been praying to me all day, I wouldn't have heard them. [ponders] There was nothing they could do about it.

Helen:

Dewey:
Really, it's the same with us. There's nothing we can do about anything either, so why worry about it? Hey, this is making me feel better.

Helen:
Well, that's good, but -

Dewey:
