 “God has a thousand ways”
Dick and Susan Osborn

Heavy snows were falling outside of Dick Osborn’s parents home in Boise, Idaho. He sat quietly in his room thinking about a dating relationship that had ended. Reaching the Bible, he read “We toss the coin but it is the Lord who controls the decision” (Proverbs 16:33 TLB).

Normally wasn’t the type to give God an ultimatum, but this particular evening he felt lonely and depressed as he thought about Sandy. He reached in his pocket for a quarter and flipped it up in the air, saying, “Lord if it comes down heads, I will marry Sandy. If it doesn’t, I know isn’t your will.”

… The coin landed with the tails side up.

“NO LORD! That’s NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER! Let’s go two out of three!” He tossed the coin into the air again, and it came down tails. The same thing happened the fourth time. “Well, this is just a bunch of hokey anyway,” he said.

Glancing around the room, Dick’s gaze fell on a Lookout magazine lying upside down on the rug. On the back was an advertisement for the book Parables for Young Teens. Dick stared at the book’s picture and read the author’s name. He pleaded. “Lord, who am I going to marry?–Susan F.Titus?” He flipped his coin up in the air again, and this time it came down heads.

“Well that just proves that this is a bunch of hokey. I don’t even know anyone named, ‘Susan F.Titus’ I don’t even know what state she lives in. How could I possibly marry her?”

He soon forgot the incident

After a few months..
Dick started to attend the Church group and there he met a woman named, “Susan” They became friends and they were talking and laughing. One night, Dick asked Susan if they can go out.. but Susan decline because she is going out with someone already. Dick said, “Let me know if you ever change your mind”

Several Months Later, Dick was shocked to find out that Sandy (his ex) was engaged. The following Sunday, Dick walked Susan from the Church to the Parking Lot. He looked back at Susan when he heard her calling his name.

“Dick, remember what you said about my telling you if I ever wanted to go out with you?” Susan said,

Dick answered, “Yeah!”
“Well, I’d like to.” said Susan.
A smile lit Dick’s face “OK!”

They had lunch the following Wednesday, and it didn’t take long they became engaged.

One day, Dick was carrying some of Susan’s Son* things upstairs to his room, he noticed a framed poster hanging on the walls of Susan that read “Parables for teens” authored by Susan F.Titus.

He stared open-mouthed, then turned to Susan. “Did you write that book?”
“Yes” Susan answered, blinking. “Why else would I have it hanging on my wall?”
Dick didn’t respond but just stared at her incredulously.

While they were in their honeymoon, Dick told Susan Titus Osborn (his wife)  the WHOLE STORY. He squeezed Susan’s hand, laughed and said. “But you’d better not tell anyone. I don’t think they’d ever believe it”
