Preacher
Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2001 4:09 pm
A preacher's wife was expecting a baby,
so he went to the congregation to ask
for a raise.
After much consideration and discussion,
they passed a new rule that when the
preacher's family expanded, so would his
paycheck.
After the sixth child, this rule was
becoming very expensive, so the congregation
decided to hold another meeting to discuss
the preacher's pay situation. As you can
imagine, there was much yelling and bickering.
Finally, the preacher got up and said. "Having
children is an act of God!"
In the back of the room, a little old man
stood up and in his frail voice said,
"Snow and rain are also acts of God,
but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers!"
