My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
What do you think? Will I ever get one?

Ooooooh that's my mother's favorite song. She'll sing it acapella on cue if you ask her. She's AWESOME!
Wanna know something sad?
When I played D&D (I hate the game but I played it so that I could spend time with my "husband"), I named my main character "Dganyss Johplynne". Pronounced "Janis Joplin".
:-D

Abuses of Prayer
What sort of things may you ask of God? Jesus assured us: “If you ask the Father for anything he will give it to you in my name.” (John 16:23) That tantalizing word—anything! Is God really at your beck and call like some sort of genie? Will he fulfill your every request, even frivolous ones? Jesus spoke his words just hours before his agonizing death. Surely he did not have in mind foolish concerns! James 4:3 therefore warns against abusing prayer. It says: “You do ask, and yet you do not receive, because you are asking for a wrong purpose, that you may expend it upon your cravings for sensual pleasure.”
Many today abuse the privilege of prayer. One school basketball team would kneel at mid court and recite a prayer after each game. But do you really think that God is a basketball fan or that he would stoop to tamper with a competitive game? (Compare Galatians 5:26.) Or how about the woman who reportedly prays for shoes? “Sometimes a shoe store might be down to just one or two pair left in my size,” she says, “and if I don’t have the money right then, I’ll ask God to make sure they’re there when I get back to them.” Now, it is one thing to pray out of need—and quite another to expect God to do your shopping.
Along similar lines, it would be inappropriate—and futile—to pray to God to spare you due punishment or discipline. (Hebrews 12:7, 8, 11) Nor are you going to have much success asking God to give you a good grade on a test for which you have done little or nothing by way of preparation.—Compare Galatians 6:7.

You could establish a rap career, and that Benz will come around the corner.

I'd rather make amends for different things.
Like the envionrmental damage from driving either car.

Perhaps you should ask for a color tv. Probably more likely to happen.
