"Soused to the gills"

Hammered-head shark dies

By ANNIE KARNI
"A Serbian man reportedly has become a hero in Egypt -- by accidentally killing a shark with his butt while drunk.

Dragan Stevic was soused to the gills while partying at the Red Sea resort Sharm El Sheikh when he inadvertently felled the beast that had been terrorizing tourists for weeks.

Stevic cannonballed into the water from a high-diving board, according to a Macedonian news agency.

Instead of making a splash, he came down right on the shark's head, killing the toothed terror instantly.

The fun-loving party boy was immediately touted as a local hero who saved tourist season, which had dried up after the shark had injured three people and killed one vacationer.

Stevic swam to shore and is currently in the hospital recovering from alcohol poisoning."

The article above brought a smile to my face, as I tried to imagine a more unlikely 'hero.'

I find it amazing that God can truly make anything - ANYTHING - work for good in our lives. Even raw unmitigated stupidity.

Guess I need to trust Him more.
