The Pastor's Last Stand
A Pastor was walking past a pet shop one day
when he noticed a sign in the window:
"Christian Horse for Sale." Being that the
Pastor owned a large ranch, he was
immediately interested, and went into the
shop.
The owner took the Pastor out to the back,
where he saw a beautiful Arabian stallion. He
agreed to allow the Pastor to take a "test run."
The Pastor grabbed the reins. "giddyap." The
horse ignored him. "no, no," counseled the
owner. This is a Christian horse. If you want
him to move, you must say, "Praise the Lord!"
The Pastor did as he was told, and the horse
started off on a leisurely walk. However, he
soon found that the horse would not stop. "He
won't answer to 'Whoa', said the owner. It's
"Amen."
The Pastor decided that he liked the horse, so
he bought him and took him home to his ranch
in the country. He saddled the horse up again,
said, "Praise the Lord," and went riding into
the countryside.
Suddenly, the horse saw a rattlesnake crossing
the path. Frightened, he reared and bolted
straight for a cliff.
The Pastor cried "whoa!" but the horse only
ran faster. In vain, he tried one word after
another. Finally, he remembered the correct
command and screamed "AMEN!!!!!" just as the
horse approached the edge of the cliff.
The Pastor was so thrilled that his life had
been saved that he raised his hands to the sky
and shouted, "PRAISE THE LORD!"
