Fluke? You Decide (I don't think so!)

On a Saturday night, this
pastor was working late, and decided to call his wife before he left for home. It was about 10 0 PM, but
his wife didn't answer the phone.
The pastor let the phone ring many times. He
thought it was odd that she didn't answer, but
decided to wrap up a few things and try again
in a few minutes. When he tried again she answered
right away. He asked her why she hadn't answered
before, and she said that it hadn't rung at their house.
They brushed it off as a fluke and went on their merry ways.
The following Monday, the pastor received a call at the
church office, which was the phone that he'd used that
Saturday night. The man that he spoke with wanted to
know why he'd called on Saturday night.
The pastor couldn't figure out what the man was talking
about. Then the man said, 'It rang and rang, but I didn't
answer.'
The pastor remembered the mishap and apologized for
disturbing him, explaining that he'd intended to call his wife.
The man said, 'That's, OK. Let me tell you my story.
You see, I was planning to commit suicide on Saturday
night, but before I did, I prayed, 'God if you're there, and
you don't want me to do this, give me a sign now.' At that
point my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID,
and it said, 'Almighty God'.
I was afraid to answer!'
The reason why it showed on the man's caller ID that the
call came from 'Almighty God' is because the church
that the pastor attends is called Almighty God Tabernacle!!

Pegasus,
I was read your 'Fluke? You Decide' story and I love it!! I guess 'Almighty God' does and can work in mysterious ways!

Play gin-rummy tournaments online
At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
