Karma?

This word karma gets tossed around here and there and nearly every time I hear it I try to decide if there really is such a thing. At times I think it is said to make you feel better when evil wins. As if you can carry on now that you have reasoned that karma will make everything alright. I wonder what makes me think about whether I should believe in karma or not. Does it have to do with my faith? Karma doesn't seem like a very "Christian" thing to believe in. For grace -- the core of what I believe in -- is so opposite of karma.

Despite whether or not I believe in this thing called karma, I sure get a kick out of it when it happens. Like today... waiting in a looooong line at the post office, a woman a few places in line ahead of me was getting impatient. She hollers out at the employee wanting to help anyone who is there just to pick up a package, "Can I just give you the money for this envelope?" She waves a dollar and some change his direction. Very kindly, he apologizes and says that he can't take any money. She huffs and puffs. She waits in line 5 more minutes and then as she is exiting the post office she trips and nearly bites the dust in the middle of the post office lobby with everyone watching.

Karma?

And I'd like to think it was karma when Kaiya just sassed me and then fell off the couch. But that just might make me a bad mom... :)
