A young man is lost and walking in the desert. One hot day, he spots the
home of a missionary. Tired and weak, he crawls up to the house and
collapses on the doorstep. The missionary finds him and nurses him back to
health. Feeling better, the man asks the missionary for directions to the
nearest town. On his way out, he sees the missionaries horse. He goes back
into the house and asks the him if he could borrow his horse. The
missionary says, "Sure but there is a special thing about this horse. You
have to say `Thank God' to make it go and `Amen' to make it stop." Not
paying much attention, the man says, "Sure, ok." So he gets on the horse
and says, "Thank God" and the horse starts walking. Then he says, "Thank
God, thank God," and the horse starts trotting. Feeling really brave, the
man says, "Thank God, thank God, thank God" and the horse just takes off.
Pretty soon he sees a cliff coming up and he's doing everything he can to
make the horse stop. "Whoa, stop, hold on!!!!" Finally he remembers,
"Amen!!"
The horse stops four inches from the cliff. Then the man leans back in the
saddle and says, "Thank God."
