Act Of God
The new minister's wife had a baby. The minister appealed to the
congregation for a salary increase to cover the addition to the
family. The congregation agreed that it was only fair, and approved
it. When the next child arrived, the minister appealed and again
the congregation approved the increase. Several years and five
children later, the congregation was a bit upset over the
increasing expenses. This turned into a rather loud meeting one
night with the minister.
Finally, the minister stood up and shouted "Having children is
an Act of God!"
An older man in the back stood and shouted back "So are rain and
snow, but we wear rubbers for them!"
