How about, "Heads or Tails?" Flipping a coin seems to be about the same thing.
Next time we need to find the will of God, why not give this a try? There is some debate as to if this was even the right thing to do.
Let's pick lots to see who marries who; which church to go to; who should be our pastor; who sings a special; the list is endless.
