Default a poor preacher's story

There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby. The preacher went
to the congregation and asked for a raise.


After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that
whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck.


After six children, this started to get expensive and the Congregation
decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's salary.


There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman's
additional children were costing the church.


Finally, the preacher got up and spoke to the crowd, "Having children is
an act of God!"


Silence fell on the congregation.


In the back of the room, a little old lady stood up and in her frail
voice said, "Snow and rain are also acts of God, but when we get too
much, we wear rubbers."
