Butch was promised a promotion that fell through. Basically for it to go through in the next 13 days would be a miracle. It could happen maybe in late summer, but most likely won't ever happen. So it's a good test. If it happens in the next 13 days, I'll do another experiment to verify the results for sure!Neecehttp://www.heavingdeadcats.com/members/neece/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352648376305239677.post-82280604828426978652011-04-19T10:43:44.000-04:002011-04-19T10:43:44.000-04:00Nein is merely German for "no", "ni...Nein is merely German for "no", "nichts" is nothing and "Null" is, um, well, you know what. :PFranshttp://fransdejonge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352648376305239677.post-67157384152017801322011-04-19T10:48:23.000-04:002011-04-19T10:48:23.000-04:00Thanks Frans.

It used to be (supposedly) that miracles were amazing things to behold, like walking on water, feeding thousands with just a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish, pillars of fire, burning bushes, etc. Now when we pray to god we pray for what? A promotion? However improbable it may be, (best wishes Butch!) it would not in any way indicate that there is a supreme being answering prayers.Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352648376305239677.post-22514065877678921482011-04-19T16:54:30.000-04:002011-04-19T16:54:30.000-04:00I guess I've lowered my standards, haven't...I guess I've lowered my standards, haven't I?

So it really would be beyond amazing. But I think I agree that I've used the word too casually. <br><br>Thanks for calling my attention to that. I should hold God to higher standards. I was trying to make this prayer "easy".Neecehttp://www.heavingdeadcats.com/members/neece/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352648376305239677.post-19134416232267985712011-04-19T16:55:53.000-04:002011-04-19T16:55:53.000-04:00Good to know, Frans.
