"something miraculous will take place" re Hurricane Harvey

[Leith]

7. This Reminds Me of the Old Joke

There was a terrible flood. A guy had to climb onto his roof to escape the rising waters.

Another man came by in his rowboat and offered to take the guy to safety. The guy refused saying "God will provide." The man in the rowboat left.

A couple hours later, with the water still rising, the police came by in a large motorboat. They said they were there to get the guy to safety. Again he refused and said "God will provide."

After a while, a helicopter hovered overhead and dropped a rope ladder. The guy refused to climb the ladder to safety by telling rescuer "God will provide."

Well, the flood rise so high that the man was swept off his roof to his death. At the pearly gates, he asked Jesus why he did not provide for his safety.

His reply was "I sent you two boats and a helicopter! Why didn't you leave?!"
