"I'll bet on that one," thought the guy. He did and the horse won!<BR/><BR/>Next race, the priest could be seen making the Sign of the Cross before another of the horses, so the guy bet on that one too, and won. So it went all afternoon, and the guy won every race by betting on whichever horse the priest blessed.<BR/><BR/>Finally came the last race, and the priest stood before one of the horses. Not only did he cross its forehead, but he also stooped down and crossed both its front hooves. "Wow, that one will definitely win!" thought the guy, and he bet all he had on the horse. The race started, the horse fell behind, and then it collapsed and died. The guy lost all his money.<BR/><BR/>Furious, he stormed up to the priest. "What's wrong with you?? I was betting on the horses you were blessing, but when I bet it all on that last horse he couldn't even finish the race!"<BR/><BR/>The priest shook his head. "That's the problem with you Protestants. Can't tell the difference between a blessing and the Annointing of the Sick!"Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06624317806947588259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26875947.post-47944894922062411702008-01-14T09:06:00.000-05:002008-01-14T09:06:00.000-05:00Ha!
