God is not a Magic Genii
Bill, was man was down on his luck and went and prayed to the Lord. He said; “Lord, I just lost my job and I have no idea how I will be able to pay the rent for the apartment for me, my wife and my three kids. If it’s not too much trouble would you PLEASE let me win the lottery this week?”
Well, the week came and went without the man winning the Lottery, so the next week the man comes back to the Lord in prayer and says; “Lord, we’ve now been evicted from our apartment and my wife and three lovely children, my dog Blue and our two cats are living in our van. So, if it’s not too much trouble would you PLEASE let me win the lottery this week?”
Again, the week came and went again without the man winning the Lottery. So the man once again gets down on his knees and prays; “Lord, we’ve now had our van repossess and my wife and three lovely children, my dog Blue and our cats Fluffy and Socks are living under the 8th street bridge. So, if it’s not too much trouble would you PLEASE let me win the lottery this week?”
Suddenly, a booming voice from above says; “Bill. At least meet me half way and BUY A LOTTERY TICKET.”
