"A sign from God"
So a coworker was telling this story about a pastor in her church and he told this story, although he was probably not really serious, I still thought you guys would appreciate it...
He was feeling troubled about a whole bunch of things and wanted to know what to do about it..So he thought maybe a sign from God would help him. So he got in the shower and thought and prayed and thought and prayed and then....The water went cold! It was a sign, a sign from God...LOL!
So, I have therefore concluded that God is....A Hot Water Heater....
:rofl:

1. Hmm, I wonder what he was troubled about?
You know what cold showers are commonly supposed to be good for, right? :think:
Please let us know when he gets arrested.

3. I want to laugh and cry at examples like this.
Truly, some people never mature past the God = Santa Claus stage. "Hey, I made it through that intersection that I always get a red light at! It's a sign from Gawd!" or "I found my keys! Thank you, Jesus!" Fuckity fuck people, grow the fuck up.

4. I must be one of the 'choosen'
I never run out of hot water (I take very quick showers).

6. Reminds me of an old Southern joke.
One very hot day, Clyde was picking cotton and, as usual, trying to figure out a new career path. ANYTHING to get out of that damn cotton field.

He stopped to look up at the sky for a second, and saw a miracle.

Such a miracle that he dumped his cotton sack and ran straight for the local preacher's house.

"Preacher! Preacher! In the sky! A miracle! I just saw a miracle."

"Calm down, Clyde. Here, have some iced tea. A miracle, you say?"

"Yes, preacher. I looked up in the sky, and in the clouds, I saw the letters 'GPC.'"

"And what do you suppose Gawd is telling you, Clyde?"

"Well, I think he's telling me I should be a preacher, just like you! Wear a nice suit and console the widows and stuff, at least the younger widows. I do believe the letters 'GPC' are telling me to...'Go Preach Christ."

"I'm sorry, Clyde. But like so many people untrained in the great mysteries of the Lord, I'm afraid you misinterpreted His message. In your case, the letters 'GPC' mean...Go Pick Cotton."
