May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

The Preacher's Horse

There was a preacher who was trying to sell his horse. A man stopped by to see how the horse rode. The preacher told the man that instead of saying, "walk", say "praise the Lord," and instead of saying "whoa" say "amen." So, the man got on the horse and said, "praise the Lord," and the horse started to walk. The man then said, "praise the Lord," again and the horse started to trot. He said it a few more times and the horse started galloping.

Suddenly a cliff appeared. The many yelled "Whoas!". But the horse didn't stop. He tried yelling all sorts of things and tried to pull the horse up, but it still wouldn't stop. Then suddenly he remembered what to say. The man said "amen" and the horse stopped right before they went over the cliff.

The man was so relieved, he put his hand on his forehead and said, "Praise the Lord!"
