A
traveling preacher finds himself in a tremendous rainstorm.
Within
a few hours the hotel he is staying in becomes flooded. As the
water rises, the preacher climbs to the roof and starts praying.
"Lord,
save me so I can continue on my mission of preaching your gospel."
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 scene and the water is close
to the roof of the hotel. "Sir, you better get in. the water
is still rising."
"No
thanks. The Lord will be my salvation."
Toward
evening, the hotel is almost completely under water and the preacher
is clinging to the satellite dish on the roof. A helicopter is
spotted and on a loudspeaker is heard "Hello Sir, grab on to
the line and we will pull you up. This is your last chance.
"I'm
all right," says the preacher, as he looks heavenward. "I know
the Lord will provide sanctuary."
As
the boat departs, the satellite dish is hit by lightning and
the preacher is killed. When he arrived at the Pearly Gates he
was furious.
"What
happened, " he shouts. "I thought the Lord would provide!"
Moments
later a thunderous voice is heard. "Gimmie a break pal. I sent
you 2 boats and a chopper"
