FIL...How does he do it?

This was a recent conversation with FIL...

FIL: "You know DIL, the Good Lord works in mysterious ways."

Me: "Oh yeah?  How so?"

FIL: "Do you remember when I told you that Miss SoandSo UN-invited me to her Christmas party?"

Me: "Mmmhmm"

FIL: "Well...i prayed that her party would be ruined and lowandbehold..no one showed up."

Me: "Well, that doesn't seem very Christian,  Actually it sounds really vindictive and mean spirited."

FIL: "No..that's just how the Good Lord woks.  I have a very special relationship with God."

Re: FIL...How does he do it?

  • Clearly if you were a better christian, you would be able to smite people like him.

    I can't imagine why he was uninvited from a party; he sounds like such a charmer.

    Hope is not a strategy.
  • I'd like to smite him!  Miss Soandso is his girlfriend..that's the worst of it! I just thought this was too amusing to keep to myself. Hope you got a grin out of it. Smile
  • Oh no! This is his GF ??!!??

    I'm sure family dinners with them are a blast....

    Hope is not a strategy.
  • What a charming person.
    SO SINGS MY SOUL *WHAM!* MY SAVIOR GOD TO THEE *WHAM!* HOW GREAT THOU ART *WHAM!* HOW GREAT THOU ART *WHAM!*
  • Thats pretty sad... in a somewhat hilarious way. 
  • was he joking? it kind of sounds like something I would say as a joke before realizing that most people think its really inappropriate to joke bout God. 
  • So God doesn't help the starving and diseased but He managed to ruin the party. Hmmmm....I'm not a big religious person but I really didn't think it worked this way. Not to mention...BAD KHARMA this guy is putting out!

    Here's a cliche that he should remember...what goes around, comes around!

    My Blog - Life, Love and Laughter No government can dictate who we love. Life is short...so do what feels right!
  • Maybe the party was cancelled. That is why he was "uninvited" and "no one showed up".

    Either way...  Wow!

    God is extremely busy making sure that football players make touchdowns and that actors win Oscars.
