ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
PAINTING THE CHURCH
Jock, the painter, often would thin his paint so it would go further.
So when the Church decided to do some deferred maintenance, Jock was
able to put in the low bid, and got the job.
As always, he
thinned his paint way down with turpentine.
One day while he was up on the scaffolding -- the job almost finished
-- he heard a horrendous clap of thunder, and the sky opened.
The downpour washed the thinned paint off the church and knocked Jock
off his scaffold and onto the lawn among the gravestones and puddles
of thinned and worthless paint.
Jock knew this was a warning from the Almighty, so he got on his knees
and cried: "Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I do?"
And from the thunder, a mighty voice:
"REPAINT! REPAINT! AND THIN NO MORE!"

Psalm 23 King James Version (KJV)
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the
still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort
me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
