I Pledge
The crumbling, old church building needed re-modeling, so the
preacher made an impassioned appeal, looking directly at the
richest man in town. At the end of the message, the rich man
stood up and announced, “Pastor, I will contribute $1,000.”
Just then, plaster fell from the ceiling and struck the rich man
on the shoulder. He promptly stood again and shouted,
“Pastor, I will increase my donation to $5,000.”
Before he could sit back down, plaster fell on him again, and
again he virtually screamed, “Pastor, I will double my last
pledge.”
He sat down, and an larger chunk of plaster fell hitting him on
the head. He stood once more and hollered, “Pastor, I will give
$20,000!”
This prompted a deacon to shout, “Hit him again, Lord! Hit him
again!”
