Amusing story

I heard a variation of this at midweek service at church Wednesday night and thought I'd pass it along.

There's a story told about a very devout Christian man whose house is caught in a raging flood. The flooding is so bad that the man has to climb on the roof of his house to escape the floodwaters. As the water level gets halfway up the side of the house, a guy comes by in a boat. "Jump in!" he says. "I'll take you to safety!"

"No," replies the Christian. "God will save me!"

A few hours later, the water has reached the roof and the waves are at the man's legs. Another guy comes by in a boat and makes the same offer. "Jump in! I'll take you to safety!"

"No," says the Christian. "God will save me!"

A few hours later, the water is now up to our guy's chest and continuing to rise. This time a helicopter arrives and lowers a basket. "Jump in!" says the pilot through a bullhorn. "I'll take you to safety!"

"No," says the Christian. "God will save me!"

Finally the guy drowns and goes to Heaven. When he sees God, he asks, "Did I not have enough faith, Lord? Why did You not save me?"

God replies, "What more did you want? I sent you two boats and a helicopter!"
