< 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.
<
< Well, after 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,
< "Snow and rain are also acts of God but when we get too much of it,
< we wear rubbers."
