Conversely, if your Deitie isn't humbled, and is in fact a bit frivilous himself, there shouldn't be any reason why he wouldn't grant you a Miracle when you request an apple pie.5) Last, but not least, maybe some are reading way too much into this. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
