Maxine was driving down the street in a sweat because she had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place.
Looking up toward heaven, she said, "Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to church every Sunday for the rest of my life and give up sex and tequila."
Miraculously, a parking place appeared.
She looked up again and said, "Never mind. I found one."

Hey Robert, check this out, true story.
It was around fourteen years ago, while I was deer hunting one morning, that I had found myself sitting on a ridge contemplating Gods existence. My sister had been witnessing to me at that time and I guess it was starting to sink in a bit. I looked up and said,” God, if you do exist show me a buck.” I think that this was my second year of hunting and I have yet to see a legal buck, so I was getting desperate. I am being totally honest when I tell you two seconds after I said that a buck stood up from behind a bush at about 200 yards. By the time I raised my rifle to position it was bouncing off and disappeared. I looked up and said,” Are you kidding me? That is not what I meant. I want to shoot at one.”
Later that same day, in a different location, I was walking a trail when a shot rang off in the distance. I chambered a round just in case that shot didn’t hit its mark and it spooked the deer my way. I could not believe what I saw. This buck came out of some trees 100 yards away from me at full speed in my direction. This deer had no desire in slowing or turning. I finally got that shot I was asking for…when it was 10 feet away…still running. The deer almost ran me over. Notice that I said “almost”.
Sad to say it but that didn’t convince me that there was a God. I chalked it up as coincidence. It is amazing the stuff we have to go through before we acknowledge His existence. More important, His presence.
GB!!!
Ouch!
Just stopping by to say hello. Great story. Why is it that we only reach out to our maker when we are in desperate "want" of something. Thanks for reminding me to be in a constant state of gratitude for what I already have. Blessings!
haha =) Bless you Robert!

He convinces us, Bobby, because He wants us in His life.
