"Life handed him a lemon,
As Life sometimes will do.
His friends looked on in pity,
Assuming he was through.
They came upon him later,
Reclining in the shade
In calm contentment, drinking
A glass of lemonade.
By, Flynn, Clarence Edwin (November 1940),
The Rotarian, vol. 57, The Rotarian, p. 62

I am sure at some point and time in your life someone sold you a lemon or two. Murphy's law is an adage or epigram that is typically stated as: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." In some formulations, it is extended to "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time."
Though similar statements and concepts have been made over the course of history, the law itself was coined by, and is named after, American aerospace engineer Edward A. Murphy Jr.: its exact origins are debated, but it is generally agreed it originated from Murphy and his team following a mishap during rocket sled tests sometime between 1948 and 1949 and was finalized and first popularized by testing project head John Stapp during a later press conference. Murphy's original quote was the precautionary design advice that "If there are two or more ways to do something and one of those results in a catastrophe, then someone will do it that way."

Well, between Lemon’s and Murphy’s law this one thing we can all hopefully learn. That these two things were also created by our G3D to test and to teach us more about the deeper things we’ll need to experience on our spiritual quest. Most of our Lemons in life are obtained through our impatience. Not slowing down and talking to our Lord about what we want to do is our first mistake. Whether we are about to say something or purchase an item before checking in with our Father is foolish.
