painting.

there was an old clap-board country church that needed repainting. so, the elders and deacons met to decide who would do this job. they elected a deacon who was somewhat greedy for the job. he bought the paint and thinned it down with water so he could keep part of the money for himself. just as he put the last brush stroke down on the last board, a huge thunderstorm came through and washed off every drop of paint. a loud voice came from above and said "repaint, repaint, and thin no more!"
