  THE BACK PEW--A pastor's wife was expecting a baby, so he stood
  before the congregation and asked for a raise. After much
  discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the pastor's family
  expanded; so would his paycheck.
   
  After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the
  congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the pastor's
  expanding salary.
   
  A great deal of yelling and inner bickering ensued, as to how much
  the pastor's additional children were costing the church, and how
  much more it could potentially cost. 
   
  After listening to them for about an hour, the pastor rose from his 
  chair and spoke, "Children are a gift from God, and we will take
  as many gifts as He gives us." 
   
  Silence fell over the congregation. In the back pew, a little
  old lady struggled to stand, and finally said in her frail voice,
  "Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we
  wear rubbers." The entire congregation said, "Amen."
   
  Gotta love those senior citizens !
