I received this story via e-mail today... Some of you might get a kick out of it:
My grandmother, who lived in Tucson, was well-known for her faith and lack of reticence in talking about it. She would go out on the front porch everyday and yell, "Praise the Lord!" and everyday, her neighbor would shout back, "There ain't no Lord!"
During those days, my grandmother was very poor, and the neighbor decided to prove his point by buying a large bag of groceries and placing it on her porch by her door.
The next morning, Grandmother went to the porch and, seeing the groceries, said, "Praise the Lord!" The neighbor stepped out from behind a tree and shouted, "There ain't no Lord. 'I' bought those groceries!"
Grandmother replied, "Praise the Lord! Not only did you send me food but you made the devil pay for it, to boot!"
