There once was a minister, whose wife was expecting
a baby. He went to the congregation and asked for a
raise. They passed a rule that when the minister's
family expanded, so would his paycheck. After five
or six children, this started to get expensive. The
congregation held a meeting about this.

As you can imagine, there was much yelling and
discussion. The minister gets up to the pulpit
and speaks "Having children is an act of GOD!"

A little man in the back rises and says, "Point of
information, snowing and raining are an act of GOD,
but we wear rubbers!"
