Sorry if this has already been posted:

A man has been in business for many, many years and the business is going down the drain. He is seriously contemplating suicide and he doesn't know what to do. He goes to the Priest to seek his advice. He tells the Priest about all of his problems in the business and asks the Priest what he should do.

The Priest says "Take a beach chair and a bible and put them in your
car and drive down to the edge of the ocean. Go to the water's edge.
Take the beach chair out of the car, sit on it and take the Bible out
and open it up. The wind will rifle the pages for a while and
eventually the Bible will stay open at a particular page. Read the
Bible and it will tell you what to do."

The man does as he is told. He places a beach chair and a Bible in his
car and drives down to the beach. He sits on the chair at the water's
edge and opens the Bible. The wind rifles the pages of the Bible and
then stops at a particular page. He looks down at the Bible and sees
what he has to do.

Three months later the man and his family come back to see the
Priest. The man is wearing a $1,000 Italian suit, the wife is all
decked out with a full-length designer coat and the child is dressed in beautiful silk. The man hands the Priest a thick envelope full of
money and tells him that he wants to donate this money to the church
in order to thank the Priest for his wonderful advice.

The Priest is delighted. He recognizes the man and asks him what
advice in the Bible brought this good fortune to him. The man
replies: "Chapter 11."
