A guy’s in his house when horrendous rains come
up. The water starts rising, and before you know
it, we’re talking major flood. Roads are covered.
Nothing’s moving. Pretty soon, a boat comes along.
Guy in the boat yells, ‘Come on – we’re here to
save you. Get in the boat.’
Guy in the house says, ‘No…I’ve got faith that
God will save me.’
The boat leaves. The water keeps rising. The guy
is forced up the second floor of his house by the
flood waters. Another boat comes along. The guy in
the boat yells, ‘Come on! It’s getting worse. If
you don’t get in the boat, you’re going to drown.’
From the second floor window the guy says,
‘No…I’ll be ok. I’ve got faith in God that he’ll
save me.’
The boat leaves. Water’s rising. The
guy’s on the roof. A helicopter hovers overhead
and the pilot shouts out, ‘This is your last
chance. Climb up the ladder. If you don’t come
now you’re going to drown.’
The guy says from the roof, ‘No, thanks. God will
save me.’
The pilot shrugs his shoulders and splits. The
water rises. The guy drowns. Ascends to the pearly
gates. He asks St. Peter, ‘What happened? I’ve
been devoted to God and had absolute faith that he
would save me. Why did he let me down?’
And St. Peter tells him, ‘What the heck do you
want? God sent ya two boats and a helicopter!?’
