Keep smiling, we're with you Ron. The Uof Vt. was having a lecture on
prayer. As I prepared to go to the lecture a blizzard hit. My husband said
"your foolish to go out in this, if the car doesn't start back up don't call
me". So foolish left in the middle of the blizzard, she stoped near the
Univ. to pick up yet another fool. When they got into the car, it wouldn't
start, now anyone who know's this type of weather know's this car ain't
going to start. The two fools walked to the lecture hall. The lecturer
said "we pray all wrong, we beg, we plead, we bargin", Instead we should
demand to God. After the lecture and as we approached the car, I looked
into the nightly sky and said "Listen God, I went to a hell of alot of
trouble to get to this lecture, now you have to make the car start". We got
in, I turned the ignition key and Lord and behold the car started right up.
Now I don't demand too often of God (that was scarry), I just give thanks!
Believe this is as near as I can get to the story Ron. Good luck! Lillian
