Comment previewing
I use comment moderation to avoid comment-spam and nastiness, not to filter opinions. I intend to publish all reasonable comments, whether or not they agree with me. I will not publish any comment that is unduly flaming or that uses foul language, whether or not it agrees with me. You may contact me about an entry by making a comment and telling me that it is a private comment, in which case I will not publish it. If you want a response, include your email address. For privacy reasons I won’t publish a comment that contains someone’s email address.
Unfortunately, because of comment spam I am no longer accepting anonymous comments. You may use a Google account or OpenID with a pseudonym, but you will have to log in to comment. I would rather not do this, but... blame the spammers.

I can only assume it's supposed to be some clever allegory, since the word STRAIGHT does indeed contain letters composed of CROOKED (not to mention BENT) LINES. But I'm not at all sure what I'm supposed to infer from that.
Had it been BUSH or CHENEY instead of STRAIGHT, then it would have been both clearer and more apt.
You've never seen that before? Wow.
It means that God will take the bad things that happen and make good come out of them.
No, never seen it before. And now that I see an explanation, I think it's one of the most strained metaphors I've seen.
