The God Article with Mark Sandlin
6) I must be living right.
Have you ever been riding in a car when the driver pulls into a parking space right in front of the store and proclaims, “I must be living right!”?
Sure, they are half joking but keep in mind it’s only half joking. Statements like this have their roots in that nasty “everything happens for a reason” thinking.
These are the same folks who ask God to help them win sporting events. I hate to burst the bubble but God doesn’t care which team wins or how close to the store entrance you get to park your car.
Plus, go back to #7. When you say things like this, what are you saying about the folks who had to park in that very last spot next to the shopping cart return where the car doors get all dinged up? And for that matter, if you are “living right,” why didn’t you take that spot and leave the one up front for someone else?
