Hobby Lobby founder David Green is a fat camel who believes he can buy the eye of the needle.

On March 19, founder and owner of Hobby Lobby and Mardel stores David Green sent around a letter explaining executives’ decision to keep their store open. It turns out, God, speaking through David Green’s wife, Barbara, told him that the stores should stay open and that all employees should expect to have to “tighten our belts” in the coming days and weeks. Green also promoted that everyone should be praying a lot.

In the letter that you can read below, Green explains that Barbara is the “prayer warrior” of the Green clan. It seems that Barbara has been deep in prayer and according to Mr. Green, “the Lord put on Barbara’s heart three profound words to remind us that He’s in control.” These three profound words are “Guide, Guard and Groom.” The long and short of the message is, like most rich people messages about God, is that there is no need to talk about how rich and powerful the Green family is, and instead we should look to God to protect us during this very trying time.

The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...
