After The Flood.

[A. BOOZER]

A terrible flood hit a small town, sending the rescue units

out. It just so happened that a devoutly religious woman

lived in this town when the flood hit, and she sat down to wait

for God to save her.

When the first rescue boat came in the worker called for her to

come out but she just shook her head and said "Thank you, but

my God will save me." Shaking his head the rescue worker moved

on. The waters rose and she climbed to the second story of her

home to wait for God.

A second boat came by and the worker called out "Listen lady

we've got to get you out of here!" Once again she thanked him

profusely and said "My God will save me."

The waters rose a third time forcing her to her roof. The

water was just closing around her ankles when a third boat came

by. "Lady, I'm the last boat out if you don't come now you're

going to die." She just smiled "My God will save me" she said

quietly. Frustrated the worker moved on.

The waters rose once again leaving her standing on her chimney.

She heard a huge ruckus above her head and when she looked up

she saw an emergency helicopter. "This is it lady, you have to

come now or we won't be able to save you." Still she refused to

go.

The waters rose a final time dragging her under and she was

drowned. When she got to heaven, the Lord asked her if she had

any questions, and in a timid voice she replied.

"You said if I followed you, you would always save me. Why

didn't you save me from that flood?"

God looked at her in shocked disbelief and said:

"My child I sent three boats and a helicopter for you... What else did you want!"
