A traveling preacher finds himself caught in a tremendous rainstorm.
Within
a few hours, the motel he's staying in is flooded. As the water rises,
the
preacher climbs to the roof and starts praying.
Just then, a coast guard rescue party floats by in a rowboat. "Let's
go,
mister, into the boat." "I'll stay here," says the preacher. "The Lord
will
save me."
An hour later, a second boat reaches the motel. "Sir, you better get
in. The
water is still rising." "No thanks," says the preacher. "The Lord is my
salvation."
Toward evening, the motel is almost completely under water, and the
preacher
is clinging to the satellite dish on the roof.
"Hey buddy, get in the boat! This is your last chance." "I'm all
right,"
says the preacher, looking toward heaven. I KNOW the Lord will
provide."
As the boat departs, the satellite dish is hit by lightning, and the
preacher is killed. When he arrives at the Pearly Gates, he is furious.
"What happened?" he shouts. "I thought the Lord would provide!"
Within seconds, a thunderous reply is heard: "Hey! I sent three friggin
boats!"
GET IN THE BOAT
