We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in 2008. Our children helped us celebrate with an all expense paid all arranged vacation In Hawaii.

Joe was bankrupt so he turned to God and prayed, "God, please help me. I'm going to lose my house if I don't win the lottery." But the lottery came and went and someone else won it.
Then the next week Joe asked for the same thing and lost again, his faith waning. So he prayed again: "Lord, why have you forsaken me? I've lost my house, my business, and my car. I've asked for your help to win the lottery, and nothing has happened. What's the problem?"
Suddenly a blinding flash of light appears, the heavens open, and Joe is confronted by the voice of God Himself: "Joe, meet me halfway on this: BUY A TICKET!"
Note: I'm not advocating investing in the lottery, just illustrating we need to do more than pray. I read Joe's story in Gregory Dickow's book, The Power of Change Today. Go here for a chance to win a free copy.

The lottery tickets sold rose as many people hurting from this economy hope for that kind of win. It's hard that it's easier to hope for that, rather than hope and trust God Who supplies all of our needs. That's a great story. God bless.
Cute story! You gave me my chuckle for the day , Clif!
I hate what the lottery has done to this country. They say it helps education. Humph! It never so much as bought a piece of chalk for me!
