No, the author was dead on. Praising god for whatever implies that those who didn't receive whatever weren't good enough, or devout enough. Christians hide behind the old "God's plan" and/or "God works in mysterious ways" tripe, but it's bullshit. Especially when, as the author states, Christians use it to humble brag, which they do all the damn time. That's the kind of shit vultures like Osteen and the others spew.
