Several years ago, as I was buying groceries, a clerk and I talked about food poisoning experiences we'd had. One such story of his didn't end the way I would have predicted. He began, "My church group went on a retreat, and we stopped at (a sandwich shop.) We all got sick after we ate there."
You'd probably expect, as I did, for the clerk to follow up with "That was sure uncomfortable," or "I haven't eaten there since then." Instead, he continued, "It just goes to show what a perfect system God created. There's always a release."
Talk about looking on the bright side. You just don't expect a story about stomach trouble to take a turn for the divine.
