The Squirrels
=============
Three churches in town were overrun with squirrels.
After much prayer, the elders of the first church determined
that the animals were predestined to be there. Who were they to
interfere with God's will?
They did nothing, and the squirrels multiplied.
The elders of the second church, deciding that they could not
harm any of God's creatures, humanely trapped the squirrels and
then set them free outside of town.
Three days later the squirrels were back.
It was only the third church that succeeded in keeping the
squirrels away. The elders of this church simply baptized the
squirrels and registered them as members of the church.
Now, they only see the squirrels on Christmas and Easter.
