Something to make you Smile this Morning: Acts of God?

Acts of God
> ============
>
> When my wife was seven months pregnant with our third boy,
> a MountainWings subscriber sent me this:
>
>
> There was a minister whose wife was expecting a baby.
> The minister went to the congregation and asked for a raise.
>
> After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that
> when the minister's family expanded, so would his paycheck.
>
> After five or six children, this started to get expensive.
> The congregation decided to hold a meeting again to discuss the
> minister's pay situation.
>
> You can imagine there was much yelling and bickering.
>
> Finally, the minister got up and spoke to the crowd,
> "Having children is an act of God!"
>
> In the back of the room, a little old man with a full beard
> stood up, and in his frail voice said...
>
> "Snow and Rain are also 'acts of God,'
> but when we get too much, we wear rubbers!"
