Two men were down on their luck and decided to paint houses to earn
some extra money. To start their business they asked the pastor of a
local church if he would be interested in their service. He agreed and
the men went out to buy the paint. As they drove to the paint store they
decided that they would mix half paint and half water to try to increase
their profits. When they finished the job they called the pastor outside to look at
their work. "It looks wonderful," the pastor said and as he
started to hand them the cheque a small raincloud appeared. All at once
there was lightning and thunder and the church area was drenched with
rain. As the rain hit the church the paint started running. Suddenly, as
the three of them stood there in disbelief, a voice from heaven said
"Repaint and thin no more."
