"Every time I save enough money for that fancy new handgun...."

[Will Carry]

I was complaining to a co-worker the other day. I was telling him that "every time I save enough money to buy that high dollar handgun I've been wanting, something comes up. My wife needs dental work, my daughter needs braces, the washing machine died, the car broke down. I've been saving for three years for that gun and I always get just enough money then WHAM! something comes up!" Well my buddy is an old Southern Baptist and he listens to me whine then says. "I guess the Good Lord is lookin' out for you and your family." His words hit me like a bucket of cold water. What a fool I am......

[BrasilNuts]

I've had the same thing happen many times. I always get a little upset at first, then reality kicks in and I thank God I had the money. Your friend is very wise.

That's why when I save money I don't tell myself what I'm saving for and then I sneak up on something and buy it! I figure things won't break down if they don't know that I'm saving for something I didn't even know that I'm buying in the first place. Sneaky huh? But I do agree with you, the Lord looks out for His own and I'm very thankful for it. Plus, He knows what I'm gonna buy before I do so there's no foolin' Him!

[LagerHead]

Darn your friend and his perspective! How dare he interrupt a perfectly good session of whining. Oh well, I guess that's what friends are for.

That's why I like midrange guns and a good layaway plan.

Your buddy is an idiot.

1 John 1: 5This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

God doesn't put things on us. Satan is the king of this world, for now. God sent Jesus to suffer and die for us, so He could continue to make us suffer? That's pretty much as stupid as it gets.

I think he meant that God was looking out for him by allowing him to have enough money saved for the times when bad things happen. Not that God sent the bad things so he wouldn't be able to get his gun.

Don't be shy. On second thought, do be shy and DON'T tell us what you really think. There are nicer ways to disagree with someone.

You may be right; I'll go with that. As far as you other two, sorry I woke up in a bad mood. I'm not into sugar coating.
