The Back Pew
Joe Confreda Strikes Again!
There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby, so he went before the congregation and asked for a raise. After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck.
After six children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's salary. There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church.
Finally, the preacher got up and spoke to the crowd, "Children are a gift from God," he said.
Silence fell on the congregation.
After several embarrassing seconds had past, a little old lady seated in the back pew, stood up and in her frail voice said, "Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers."
