Before the Newcastle game, I found a quiet spot in my house away from my family and said some prayers, asking God to please make sure we got the 3 points. As he hadn`t been taking much notice of my requests lately, I promised that if we won I would donate £10.00 to charity. As we all know we lost, so the charity lost out on £10.00 too. Come the Man City game, I realised that perhaps the reason my prayers weren`t answered was because I made my charity offer as a condition of the result. In other words, perhaps God thought I was blackmailing Him. So after requesting 3 points at the Etihad, or at the very least 1 point, I donated £10.00 by credit card to the Phillipines cyclone disaster fund before the match hoping that would show my devotion and clinch Gods help in swinging the result in our favour. We lost 6 fucking 0. Now, my wife opened our credit card statement today and couldnt hide her surprise at my good deeds. She thinks its not in my nature to act so spontaneously where charity is concerned. She`s even suggesting we set up a monthly direct debit for save the chlidren or Oxfam or something. The question is should I tell her the truth about my motivation. Or should I let her believe I really have developed a compassionate touch. If i do tell her the truth I`m worried she might think I`m not normal and arrange some sort of counselling for me. Please tell me I`m normal and I`m not the only one to do these sort of things. Any advice will be truly appreciated. Thanks
