Well folks just got back from the grocery and had the funniest thing happen.
Lady was in front of me trying to buy a pack of chicken for $3.37 (tax
included). Well, she was digging, and I - out of the *sheer goodness of my
heart - offered her the small 27 cents that she herself did not have, so she
could get the chicken.
Now, here's the funny part. She takes the money from me, *doesn't even say
thank you, gives the money to the cashier, and then the friend (she didn't
have any money either) who was with her says "Praise god. God is *good. God
was looking out for you right there!" And she shook her head and said, "Yes
he sure was!" And then they leave, with the chicken, still mumbling "praise
jesus" all the way out the door.
Now call me crazy, but I thought I was the one who produced the 27 cents, of
my own free will mind you (lest any of you christians want to say god was
"working through me" <chuckle>). So it was basically no Julie - no 27
cents - no chicken for you today, little christian!
So why does god get all the credit for my good deed? Life just ain't fair, I
tell ya.
Anyway, I merely smiled, pulled out the debit card and purchased my cereal.
Next time, I think I'll give them the change AND an EAC business card, just
for good measure. :)
I would have said, "No, my name is Julie, not God. And you are most welcome."

Heh. If I had, this would have probably offended them.
(That woman thinks she's god! Of all the nerve!)
Though I don't imagine I'd have got my 27 cents back either....but that's
another story... :)

It was part of the 'divine plan.'
It was for a 'greater good.'

It's that Christian brand 'humility'......

I can see why Julie Kale could have wanted to say that, but isn't
your name Gregory?

I'd have told them the money came from Satan...
