Posting a joke that I recv by e-mail. I thought it was really funny!
Two mountain preachers got together one day and one
was showing the other his horses. The other preacher, needing a horse
asked
if he had any for sale. "Why, yes I do" said the host. The sale was
completed
and the seller told the buyer, "There is something you need to know
about
your new horse. Instead of the standard 'gee and haw' I have trained
this
horse to respond to biblical verse. To get the horse going you say
'God
is Great'; to get him galloping you say, 'Praise the Lord'; to get
him
to stop you say, 'King of Kings'." The preacher decided to try out
his
new mount. He got on and said, 'God is great'. The horse started out
at
a nice easy gait, and the preacher rode him along the ridge line.
Wanting
to see what the horse would do at a gallop, he said 'Praise the
Lord'.
The horse took off like a shot. This was the fastest horse he had
ever
been on. He galloped for several minutes and then saw a steep
drop-off
ahead. It was over a 1000 feet to the bottom of the drop. The
preacher
became rattled and forgot the phrase to stop the horse. As he came
closer,
and closer, to the edge he tried everything he could think of.
Finally,
as he approached the edge he cried, 'King of Kings'. The horse
stopped
within inches of going over the edge. As the preacher looked down to
the
rocks below, and contemplated what had almost been his fate, he
exclaimed,
'Praise the Lord!'.
