7:36 PM...............................................................................
An old joke involves a preacher on his knees in the midst of a torrential downpour. Soon a man who is fleeing the area in a car approaches the preacher.
"Hop in," the man says. "No thanks," the preacher replies, "God will save me." So the man drives away. As the water rises around him, the preacher is approached again, this time by a man in a boat. "Climb aboard," the sailor says. "No thanks," the preacher replies, "God will save me." The sailor shrugs and steers his boat toward higher ground.
The rains continue and the waves become higher. A man in a helicopter spots the preacher in the water and drops a ladder to him. "Grab hold!" the pilot yells through the noise of the storm. Once again, the preacher replies, "No thanks. God will save me."
Well, eventually the flood drowns the preacher, and he finds himself standing in front of God. "Why didn't you save me from the flood?" the man angrily asks God. "I tried," God says. "I sent a car, a boat, and a helicopter. What else did you want?"
Wah. Why do i find myself so similar to the preacher?
Take a step?
