Doubletake: Just a bad idea

Everybody knows you’re not supposed to bargain with God. It’s just a bad idea. God doesn’t answer prayers that begin, “Dear God, if you just give me this one thing I’ll do this other thing. For the rest of my life. I promise.”Theologically speaking, we don’t give God our terms. He gives us His.But today we have an essay from someone who actually did bargain with God.
