Be carefull what you pray for

When the local church found out their small town was going to get a new tavern, they started a petition campaign along with regular prayers to block the bar from opening. Frown

Work progressed uneventfully until the night before the bar was set to open, when a huge storm blew through and a lightning bolt struck the bar and it burned to the ground.

The church folks were quite "smug" until the bar owner sued them on the grounds that they were responsible for his building's demise, either through direct or indirect actions or means. Surprised

In court, the church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection to the building's demise. Innocent

As the case concluded, the judge looked over the paperwork and commented, "I'm not sure how I'm going to decide this, but it appears from the paperwork that we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer and an entire church congregation that doesn't!" Laughing
