TEXAS BEER JOINT SUES LOCAL CHURCH OVER LIGHTNING STRIKE!

(This should keep you chuckling for awhile)

A bar called Drummond's (in Mt Vernon, Texas) began construction on an

expansion of their building, hoping to "grow" their business.

In response, the local Southern Baptist Church started a campaign to

block the bar from expanding - petitions, prayers, etc.

About a week before the bar's grand re-opening, a bolt of lightning

struck the bar and burned it to the ground!

Afterward, the church folks were rather smug - bragging about "the

power of prayer".

The angry bar owner eventually sued the church on grounds that the

church... "Was ultimately responsible for the demise of his building,

through direct actions or indirect means."

Of course, the church vehemently denied all responsibility or any

connection to the building's demise.

The judge read carefully through the plaintiff's complaint and the

defendant's reply.

He then opened the hearing by saying:

"I don't know how I'm going to decide this, but it appears from the

paperwork that what we have here is a bar owner who now believes in

the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that does not."
