Lunch On The Bank
A pastor and two of his deacons are out on the river fishing
in their rowboat. Twelve o'clock rolls around, and one of
the deacons notices a nice spot on the bank to have lunch.
He turns to the others and says, "That looks like a nice
spot for lunch. What do you say we have lunch over there?"
The other deacon agrees, and so does the pastor. The deacon
stands up in the boat, steps out onto the river and walks
over to the bank. The pastor looks on with amazement, and
thinks to himself, if his deacon is holy enough to walk on
water, surely he can.
The other deacon stands up, picks up the picnic basket,
steps out of the boat, and walks over to the bank and sits
with the first deacon. Again, to his amazement, the pastor
thinks again, if his second deacon is holy enough to walk on
water, surely he can.
The pastor stands up, steps out of the boat, and sinks into
the water. The first deacon turns to the second and says,
"Think we should have told him where the rocks are?"
