LOS ANGELES, CA—After a lifetime of always being late for church, his job, and funerals, 5-point Calvinist and local resident of Los Angeles Jonathan Knox realized he was predestined to hit every single red light.
"It was not up to me," said Jonathan calmly, after arriving 1 hour 27 minutes late to ushering at the Reformed-Calvin Baptist Church.
The Bee caught up with Jonathan stuck at a red light during his daily 45 minutes, 5-mile commute to work.
"While it is ever so slightly irksome, it was liberating realizing that I am never responsible for being late ever again. God ordained this before the foundation of time. Who am I to question him sovereignly ordaining that I miss work today?"
Despite angry family and friends, Jonathan continues to remain positive and cheerful, continually praising God for his foreknowledge in designating him to a life of tardiness.
God did not immediately respond when asked for comment.
At publishing time, Mr. Knox is still sitting at a light.

"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."
"The Democratic Party would be winning in a landslide if it weren't for that confounded Constitution," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We have so many great ideas on how to win, but people keep saying things like 'Hey, that's illegal' or 'That's literally a crime.' It's becoming disheartening."
"This is way easier," said Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger. "We're tackling the real issue, which is Republicans being allowed to vote at all. There will be no more campaigning, no more counting ballots. That stuff is such a hassle anyway."
