Reminds me of something I read once. It said that God is so powerful and wise that He sometimes likes to use the Devil's evil deeds for His righteous Plan.

Kind of like being in a horrible car accident being the best thing that ever happened to you, because you met your met your loving wife during the grueling rehab.

Person A meets his loving wife at a party.
Person B meets his loving wife at college.
Person C meets his loving wife after a horrible car accident.

Praise the Lord for C's good fortune.

Anything, no matter how implausible, that allows you to avoid the dreaded E-word, eh?

"Mocked", perhaps, but methinks "stalked" is a bit excessive.

Okay, we'll use that. The question is whether cyber-bullying will be the appropriate term at some point.

God might be using my evil deeds for His righteous Plan for you.

Who am I to go against the will of God?
