Mr. Calvin would never suggest that bad outcomes are the result of human misdeeds -- rather, they're predetermined, and part of God's overall plan, which He has thoroughly worked out in His mind.)

Warner was new in the job. He was facing droughts in one part of the state, floods in another. There were fires, a huge traffic crash that closed the Beltway, and then a hurricane.
