Love gives, Hope receives, and Faith perserveres. All of them together can conquer all.

Though speeding tickets are tricky.

It requires great courage to look at oneself honestly, and forge one's own path...

And even greater courage to conclude it's not worth the trouble.

That is a creed of failure, not achievement.

Rule of three, apply to thee. Curse me once and cursed forever you will be.

Dear God, Heal what is sick in me; raise up what is low that you might enjoy a strategic return on the investment you have made in me, or let me burn in hell, the tree that bears no fruit, cast on the blaze - and may (I have here a list) these others, my competitors who are far worse than I am, burn with me

:hmph: Dear God, heal what is sick in me.

And as long as You are performing improbable miracles, I could use about $150,000 and a pizza without anchovies.

^I was just more pointing to the author's irony, but the moola and pizza sound nice.

Sounds worse than the Prayer of Jabez fad that was in vogue back in 2002. Anyone remember, the overdwelling on two verses:

1 Chronicles 4:9-10 (New International Version) wrote:

Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prayer_of_Jabez

Certainly a lot less Scriptural, though focusing on two verses for too long can make it more significant than it should be.

Still hungry. No pizza. I know pizza exists. There must be a problem with God.

I want my excess funds check. You expedite that, and I'll deliver a pizza to Finland.

OK. As soon as God checks your funds I'll put my plate on the table. If He chooses to work through you, please get it here before the mozzarella hardens.

Okay, but first I need to invent the transporter. Then I'll just beam pizzas from the delivery cars and send them wherever I want.
