A very zealous soul-winning young preacher
recently came upon a farmer working in his field. Being concerned about the farmer's soul,
the preacher asked the man, "Are you laboring in the vineyard of the Lord my good
man?"
Not even looking at the preacher and
continuing his work the farmer replied, "Naw, these are soybeans."
"You don't understand," said the
preacher. "Are you a Christian?"
With the same amount of interest as his
previous answer the farmer said, "Nope my name is Jones. You must be lookin' for Jim
Christian. He lives a mile south of here."
The young determined preacher tried again
asking the farmer, "Are you lost?"
"Naw! I've lived here all my
life," answered the farmer.
"Are you prepared for the
resurrection?" the frustrated preacher asked.
This caught the farmer's attention and he
asked, "When's it gonna be?"
Thinking he had accomplished something the
young preacher replied, "It could be today, tomorrow, or the next day."
Taking a handkerchief from his back pocket
and wiping his brow, the farmer remarked, "Well, don't mention it to my wife. She
don't get out much and she'll wanna go all three days!"
