The Voice of God Speaks

There was a Scottish tradesman, a painter called Jack, who
was very interested in making a pound where he could. So
he often would thin down his paint to make it go a wee bit
further. As it happened, he got away with this for some
time.
Eventually the Presbyterian Church decided to do a big
restoration job on one of their biggest churches. Jack put in
a painting bid and because his price was so competitive, he
got the job.
Well, Jack was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job
nearly done, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of
thunder. The sky opened and the rain poured down, washing
the thin paint from all over the church and knocking
Jack fair off the scaffold to land on the lawn.
Now, Jack was no fool. He knew this was a judgement from
the Almighty, so he fell on his knees and cried, “Oh, God!
Forgive me! What should I do?”
And from the thunder, a mighty Voice spoke, “Repaint!
Repaint! And thin no more!”
