1. Just keep trustin' the Lord, bro.
Usually in answer to, "I mean, I've had problems before, but I just don't know what to do about this. I am so afraid."

30. God was looking out for you.
Edited on Sat Apr-01-06 03:34 AM by Hissyspit
That guy that was standing right next to you, who was just splattered out of existence? God wasn't looking out for him.

(This is a variation on "It's God's will.")

34. one comic who worked as a teacher said
One of my students wanted to kill me.
He actually wrote it down as one of his "goals and objectives"
"kill Mr. Kotter"
Somebody asked me "weren't you worried?"
I said "why? He hasn't met any of his objectives all year."
