Jim Rankin was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn’t find a parking place.
Looking up toward heaven, he said, “Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to church every Sunday for the rest of my life and give up beer.”
Just then a parking place miraculously appeared!
Jim looked up again and said, “Never mind. I found one!”
