The Back Pew - The Firearms Forum

dons2346 · 01-25-2010, 10:31 PM

A pastor's wife was expecting a baby, so he stood before the congregation
and asked for a raise. After much discussion, they passed a rule that
whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck.

After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the congregation
decided to hold another meeting to discuss the p reacher's expanding
salary. A great deal of yelling and inner bickering ensued, as to how much
the clergyman's additional children were costing the church, and how much
more it could potentially cost.

After listening to them for about an hour, the pastor rose from his chair
and spoke, 'Children are a gift from God, and we will take as many gifts as
He gives us. Silence fell on the congregation.

In the back pew, a little old lady struggled to stand, and finally said in
her frail voice, 'Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of
it, we wear rubbers.'
The entire congregation said, 'Amen.'
