Church Restoration Project

There was a tradesman, a painter named Jack, who was very interested in
making a dollar 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 local church decided to do a big restoration project. Jack
put in a painting bid and, because his price was so competitive, he got the
job. And so he started, erecting the trestles and putting up the planks, and
buying the paint and thinning it down with turpentine.
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 off the scaffold to land on the lawn.

Jack was no fool. He knew this was a judgment 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!"
