An overweight business associate of mine decided it was time to shed some
excess pounds.

He took his new diet seriously, even changing his driving route to avoid
his favorite bakery.

One morning, however, he arrived at work carrying a gigantic coffeecake.

We all scolded him, but his smile remained cherubic.

"This is a very special coffeecake," he explained. "I accidentally drove
by the bakery this morning and there in the window were a host of goodies.
I felt this was no accident, so I prayed, 'Lord, if you want me to have
one of those delicious coffeecakes, let me have a parking place directly
in front of the bakery.'"

"And sure enough," he continued, "the eighth time around the block, there
it was!"
