The Drowning Man

A man was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.

Soon a man in a rowboat came by and shouted to the the man on the roof, "Jump in, I can save you."

The stranded man shouted back, "No, it's okay, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me."

So the rowboat went on.

Then a motorboat came by. The man in the motorboat shouted, "Jump in, I can save you." To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the motorboat went on.

Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted out, "Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety." The stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me."

So the helicopter flew away.

Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to heaven. He finally got a chance to discuss the whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, "I had faith in you but you didnt save me and let me drown! I dont understand why!"

To this God replied, "I sent you a rowboat, a motorboat and a helicopter. What more did you expect?"

I may very well be this foolish man now.
