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!'.
