I remember being behind on paying my tithing. I was talking to Heavenly Father about it in prayer and said, “Yeah, this next paycheck I’ll be sure to pay you the $50 I owe you.”

God interjected, “$70.”

I responded, “$70? No way it’s $50.”

“$70.”

“What? How can it possibly be $70?”

“Check again.”

A bit frustrated I did the math and sure enough, wonder of wonders, I owed God $70 bucks. So, I said to him, “Oh, sorry, you’re right.”

I got no words after that, but I had this feeling that he was patiently amused by my silly arguement. He’s God! He knows everything! DUH he’s right!

And yes, the conversation really went like that.
