...Expect a Divine Bank Deposit Rabbi Nevins cautions, "When I ask God for help, I'm not asking for an extra miracle, for a great hand to drop a wad of cash on my mortgage." Such supernatural interventions may occur, he says, "but I just don't know how to prove that." Says Ali: "God accepts our prayers, but God acts based on his wisdom." Says Martin: "If you imagine that God is like a cosmic gum-ball machine, you have to start rethinking your image of God. The help may not come as quickly or in the exact...

At least Lil’ Wil doesn’t forget the children. This is pretty much the entirety of the three-minute “My Dougie” video, whose complexity in plot can only be compared with its complexity in lyrics...
...comfort. If they suddenly decided not to give me a degree after four years, I sure as hell hope Harvard wouldn’t just offer me my money back. When Continental cancels my flight, they don’t just apologize over the loudspeaker and hand me a wad of cash. Please. I’m getting a free night’s stay at the Sheraton and enough flier credit to get me to Bora Bora the next morning...
