Gods love covers a multitude of stupidity

Remember that lemonade-only-cleanse thing I wrote about yesterday? Yea, it doesn’t work so well when you run out of lemonade. Like I did.
You see, I had a gallon jug of it in my car and a water bottle that I was drinking out of all day. The plan was to go refill the bottle at lunch time. but I hadn’t drank much by lunch time. So I just screwed around on facebook (mostly scrabulous) and weewar.
I finished off the bottle by 4 or 5 ish. But I was on the phone so I didn’t go get any more. Then everybody else went home for the day at 5. So I couldn’t get anymore. But I still felt fine (not even hungry) so I let it slide.
Later on I was talking to my boss about something else, and I mentioned that I could work through lunch some. I started explaining the lemonade cleanse to him and he didn’t seem that impressed, but before I got too far his wife came in and I re explained it to her.
She’s a nurse. She very politely and caringly explained that it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but that it was no good for me. I had no fat stores for backup.
I was feeling a bit embarrassed at this as she stepped out of the room. Then I started feeling a little embarrassed and a little dizzy. Then embarrassed, dizzy, and having trouble seeing.
I tried to sit down, but missed the chair with my hand and caught it with my chin instead. More embarrassed. I got in the chair and noticed my boss was offering me a rockstar energy drink. I declined. Then I made a good choice: I prayed. “God take care of me.” A second after that my boss offered me a slimfast.
I drank half the can in about 3 seconds and everything started coming back to normal with the first swallow. In all the disy/semi-blackout bit probably only lasted 15 seconds.
What was the most amazing part to me was that God answered my prayer in under 5 seconds.
So there are two morales to this story:
- God answers prayer.
- Don’t run out of lemonade during a lemonade-only diet
