God wants us to be happy....but finding funds for tickets to football games is not an act of God.

Proof that even stupid, ignorant, close-minded things are tools of the Lord!!

"tools" of the Lord. Never thought of it that way. I definitely qualify.

right next to the 1st Trombones, usually in back of the woodwinds.

is that the chapter, verse and footnote from the Book of Funk?

Does anyone actually think MP Funk and Swissh_15 donated?

Yep, I gladly donated. Thanks for judging though.

It's like CB Shark Tank. Only backwards.

Really. If someone feels that why, who am I to disagree?

A "miracle," no. But an act of God, I think, yes.
