After her business goes bust,
a blonde woman named Sharon finds herself in dire financial trouble – so desperate, in fact, that she resorts to
praying. ‘God, please help me,’ she wails. ‘I've lost my business, and if I don't get some money, I'm going to
lose my car as well. Please let me win the lottery.’ Saturday night comes, and Sharon watches aghast as someone else
wins it. Again, she begins to pray: ‘God, please let me win the lottery! I've lost my business, my car, and I'm
going to lose my house as well.’ Next Saturday night comes, and Sharon still has no luck. Once again, she prays.
‘God, why haven't you helped me?’ she cries, angrily. ‘I've lost my business, my house, my car and now my children
are starving. I’ve always been a good servant to you – PLEASE let me win the lottery just this once, so I can get my
life back in order.’ Suddenly, there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open above, and Sharon is
confronted with the glowing, ethereal vision of God Himself. ‘Sharon,’ he booms. ‘Meet me halfway on this. Buy a
ticket.’
