A crumbling old church building needed remodeling, so, during his sermon, the preacher made an impassioned appeal looking directly at the richest man in town. At the end of the sermon, the rich man stood up and announced, “Pastor, I will contribute $1,000.”
\nJust then, plaster fell from the ceiling and struck the rich man on the shoulder.
\nHe promptly stood back up and shouted, “Pastor, I will increase my donation to $5,000.”
\nBefore 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 a larger chunk of plaster fell on his head.

\nThis prompted a deacon to shout, “Hit him again, Lord! Hit him again!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
