Acts Of God
There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby, so he went to the congregation and asked for a raise.After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that when the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck.
After 5 or 6 children, this started to get expensive so the congregation decided to hold a meeting again to discuss the preacher's pay situation. As you can imagine, there was much yelling and bickering.
Finally, the preacher got up and spoke to the crowd. "Having children is an act of God!" he said.
In the back of the room, a little old man stood up and in his frail voice said, "Point of information ... snow and rain are also acts of God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers."
