FINALLY! Puzzle 245 :)

[Nomilynn]

Here are the rules:

1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again.

3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk personal email. [This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts.]
DO NOT post it on the forum. If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.

8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.

9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

And here is what you win...you get to create the next puzzle. (Should you win the game, and do not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass your puzzle play to the member with the next highest points)


Here is the puzzle:

------ ----- ---- --- ---- ---!

Better Wat-h What You Pray For!

The -at From God!

A true story about a pastor and his e-perien-e.

He had a kitten that -limbed up a tree in his ba-kyard and then was afraid to -ome down. The

pastor -oa-ed, offered warm milk, et-. The kitty would not -ome down. The tree was not

sturdy enough to -limb, so the pastor de-ided that if he tied a rope to his -ar and to the

tree and dro-e away so that the tree bent down, he -ould then rea-h up and get the kitten.

He did all this, -he-king his progress in the -ar fre-uently, then figured if he went -ust a

little bit further, the tree would be bent suffi-iently for him to rea-h the kitten. But as

he mo-ed a little further forward....the rope broke. The tree went "bong!" and the kitten

instantly sailed through the air out of sight. The pastor felt terrible. He walked all o-er

the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen a little kitten. No. Nobody had seen a stray

kitten. So he prayed, "Lord, I -ust -ommit this kitten to your keeping," and went on about

his business.

A few days later he was at the gro-ery store, and met one of his -hur-h members. He happened

to look into her shopping -art and was ama-ed to see -at food. Now this woman was a -at

hater and e-eryone knew it, so he asked her, "Why are you buying -at food when you hate -ats

so mu-h?" She replied, "You won't belie-e this," and told him how her little girl had been

begging her for a -at, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the -hild had begged

again, so the mom finally told her little girl, "Well, if God gi-es you a -at, I'll let you

keep it." She told the pastor, "I wat-hed my -hild go out in the yard, get on her knees, and

ask God for a -at. And really, pastor, you won't belie-e this, but I saw it with my own

eyes. A kitten suddenly -ame flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and

landed right in front of her."

Better Watch What You Pray For!

The Cat From God!

A true story about a pastor and his e-perience.

He had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The

pastor coa-ed, offered warm milk, etc. The kitty would not come down. The tree was not

sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and to the

tree and dro-e away so that the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.

He did all this, checking his progress in the car fre-uently, then figured if he went -ust a

little bit further, the tree would be bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But as

he mo-ed a little further forward....the rope broke. The tree went "bong!" and the kitten

instantly sailed through the air out of sight. The pastor felt terrible. He walked all o-er

the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen a little kitten. No. Nobody had seen a stray

kitten. So he prayed, "Lord, I -ust commit this kitten to your keeping," and went on about

his business.

A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of his church members. He happened

to look into her shopping cart and was ama-ed to see cat food. Now this woman was a cat

hater and e-eryone knew it, so he asked her, "Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats

so much?" She replied, "You won't belie-e this," and told him how her little girl had been

begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child had begged

again, so the mom finally told her little girl, "Well, if God gi-es you a cat, I'll let you

keep it." She told the pastor, "I watc-hed my child go out in the yard, get on her knees,

and ask God for a cat. And really, pastor, you won't belie-e this, but I saw it with my own

eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and
