A poor little country church down in Kentucky
needed a fresh coat of paint desperately. The dedicated
congregation raised just enough money through bake sales,
suppers, car washes and the like to buy the paint needed
to complete the job. The day came when everyone came out
to help paint the church. Unfortunately, the pastor had
underestimated the amount of paint needed to finish. So,
he told the painter to start thinning down the pain with
water. They did so and began to paint. Yet they saw that
they still would not finish the job properly so they
thinned the paint some more. The color of the wall began
to turn from a dark green to a lighter shade of green.
Just then a big, black thundercloud came out of nowhere
and settled directly over the little church. A torrential
downpour fell upon the little church and completely
washed off all the paint. Then a booming voice came down
from the cloud; "Re-paint!"
"Re-Paint!"
"And thin no more."
