power of prayer

[davidfcooper]

In a small Texas town ( Mt. Vernon ), Drummond's bar began
construction on a new building to increase their business. The local
Baptist church started a campaign to block the bar from opening with
petitions and prayers. Work progressed right up till the week before
opening when lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground.

The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, until
the bar owner sued the church on the grounds that the church was
ultimately responsible for the demise of his building, either through
direct or indirect actions or means. The church vehemently denied all
responsibility or any connection to the building's demise in its
reply to the court.

As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the
paperwork. At the hearing he commented, "I don't know how I'm going
to decide this, but as it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar
owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church
congregation that does not.
