Rev Bill

OK — a little humor today.

It seems that the Pastor of a Presbyerian church decided that God was calling the church to a new vision of what it is to be and to do. So at the Session meeting, he presents the new vision with as much energy, conviction and passion as he
can muster. When he had finished and sat down, the Clerk of Session called for a vote. All 12 Elders voted against the new vision, with only the Pastor voting for it.

“Well, Reverend, it looks like you will have to think again,” the Clerk said.

With all business concluded, the Pastor was called upon to end the meeting with prayer. He stood up, raised his hand to heaven, and prayed, “LORD, will You not show these people that this is not MY vision but it is YOUR vision?”

At that moment, the clouds darken, thunder rolls, and a streak of lightning bursts through the window and strikes in two the table at which they are sitting, throwing the Pastor all the Session members to the ground.

After a moment’s silence, as they all get up and dusted themselves off. The Clerk then said: “Well, that’s twelve votes to two then.”
