Subject: [GCFL.net] Preacher Barber


> There was once a small rural community--so small, in fact,
> that the only church in town was a small Baptist church
> whose pastor had to double up as the local barber to make
> ends meet.
> 
> A man living in this small community had invested wisely and
> was enjoying his newfound comfort. This man got out of bed
> one day to go through his daily routine. He looked into the
> mirror as he was about to shave and said to himself, "I make
> enough money now that I don't have to shave myself. I'll go
> down to the barber and let him shave me from now on." So he
> did.
> 
> He walked into the barber shop and found the preacher/barber
> was out calling on shut-ins. The barber's wife, Grace, said,
> "I usually do the shaves anyway. Sit down and I'll shave
> you." So he did.
> 
> She shaved him and he asked, "How much do I owe you?"
> 
> "Twenty-five dollars," Grace replied. The man thought that
> was somewhat expensive and that he might have to get a shave
> every other day. Nonetheless, he paid Grace and went on his
> way.
> 
> The next day, he woke up and found his face to be just as
> smooth as the day before. No need for a shave today, he
> thought. Well, it was a $25 shave.
> 
> The next day he awoke to find his face as smooth as a baby's
> bottom. Wow! he thought. It amazed him, as he normally would
> need to shave daily to keep his clean-shaven business look.
> 
> Day 3, he woke up and his face was still as smooth as the
> minute after Grace had finished. Now, somewhat perplexed,
> the man went down to the barber shop to ask some questions.
> 
> This particular day, the pastor was in, and the man asked
> him why his face was as smooth as it was the first day it
> was shaven.
> 
> The kind old pastor gently explained, "Friend, you were
> shaved by Grace, and once shaved, always shaved."
> 
> Received from Pastor Tim.
