Things on my Mind

Let me start off by saying that I love and trust the Lord. I am completely aware that He, in His infinite wisdom, knows far more about the way of things than I do but... cockroaches, seriously?!? I've been thinking about what their purpose could possibly be. There are many creepy animals who have a clear purpose--spiders for example. They mostly leave people alone (unless you're in the Forbidden Forest or playing Jumanji--in both cases, I'm sorry to say, the blame lays entirely with you) AND they control certain bug populations by eating them and also spell things in their webs for little pigs. But cockroaches. Why are they here? What do they do? Except, of course, fall on the heads of unsuspecting young women who are trying to have romantic twilight walks with their sweethearts. But that hardly constitutes a reason for existence. I suppose this will remain one of life's great mysteries..
