There was a man named John stuck on a dessert island,
Along came a boat and a man shouted out 'Hey there, do you need any help?'
John replied 'No the lord will save me'

Two days later an helicopter flew over the island. A woman shouted down to him through a grammerphone 'Are you ok? Do you need any help'
John replied 'The lord will save me'

Two months later John died of starvation. When he got to heaven St Peter was standing at the gates. 'Why didn't God save me?' asked John
St Peter replied'He sent you a boat and a helicopter, what more did you want?'


I'm terrible at jokes but I saw this in a birthday card and thought it's quite cool. It shows us how sometimes God's help might be right under our nose...

Good one.

It reminded me of a similar joke.

There's this man who has been a good Christian all his life, and he has always been poor. So one day he prays to the Lord, "O Lord, please let me win the lottery and better my lot in life!"

He waited a week and nothing happened. He prayed harder again, "O Lord, please hear my prayer, please let me win the lottery soon, I'm tired of being poor, Lord."

He waited another two weeks and... nothing happened, not a whiff of a lottery win, zilch. Finally he cried aloud in frustration, "O Lord, why don't you answer my prayer? Why don't you give me my lottery win?"

So the voice of the lord was heard saying, "Give Me a break and at least buy a ticket!"
