Only a few people know that name, and only one person has actually ever called me that. That aside, yes, you are indeed unique. I ask a thousand pardons and grovel at your feet.

Sorry to here about your toe. I offered to grovel at your feet. Your should have used the opportunity to hoist your toe on my back and lean back and relax. You are obviously not taking care of yourself.

No groveling needed. I could possibly forgive you, if you can spare some tin foil.

I'm sorry but that's a bridge to far. You ask more of me than I have the capacity to do.

no
I did buy one when was told to do it for mystery shop and they said if I won anything I could keep what I won, the only thing I won was an extra ticket lol

There will be times when you need to choose who you will serve God or Mammon, a lot of the time you cant justify it by choosing both, if you do, you will start to love one then hate the other.

Pray you are able to keep away from temptation.

If you think they "freely" give that money, you don't understand the deception of gambling. It is based on a lie that you can provide that money and get many times more - this deception is based on lust or greed. That deception hooks and holds many people, including Christians; it is a counterfeit for a genuine, wise investment. It is a get-rich-quick deception!

I don't waste my money on them. I invest in stocks, mutual funds, and may start looking into precious metals. Despite the economic lunacy out there, I stand a much better chance of winning in the end.

Also... I once promised God that I would never gamble, and it is a promise I've kept.

Would I judge another Christian for buying a ticket? I don't know... I might look at them quizzically, but I don't know if it is necessarily sinful, either.
