Greta was an old, grandmotherly type. She was well-known for her faith and love of talking about it. She would go out on the front porch and say, "Praise the Lord!" Her next door neighbor would shout back, "There ain't no Lord!"
Greta was very poor, so the neighbor decided to prove his point by buying a large bag of groceries and placing it at her door.
The next morning, she went to the porch and on seeing the groceries, shouted, "Praise the Lord!"
The neighbor stepped out from behind a tree and said, "I brought those groceries, and there ain't no Lord."
Greta smiled and replied, "Lord, you not only sent me food but you made the devil pay for it."

Very good! Reminds me of the one where this guy was living in a delta near a levee when a huge thunderstorm came and flooded the levee. The water began rushing through the town and collecting up in the reservoir until it began to spill down the streets. People started rushing to get out of town to hugh ground, but the man stayed put! he said, "God's going to take care of me." The water covered cars and people came down the street in a boat and told him to get in. he said, "You go on with your boat, God's going to take care of me." Water rose to the rooftops where the man climbed and was holding to his chimney when a helicopter flew over and let down a laddere and told him to climb on. he said, "Go on with your ladder, God's going to take care of me." Well the reservoir and levee collapsed soon after sending a horrible flood that pulled the man to his death under the surge. When he awoke in heaven, he saw God and asked him, "God, why'd you let me die? I had faith in you and lived like I was supposed to live, yet you let me die. You said you'd never leave me nor forsake me, yet here I am!" God replied, "Aside from being HAPPY to be here as you should be, I SENT YOU A BOAT AND A HELICOPTER, YOU DUMMY!" hheheheheheheh!!!!! I always liked that one!
