The temporary Sunday School teacher was
struggling to open a combination lock on the supply cabinet. She had been told the
combination, but couldn't quite remember it. Finally she went to the pastor's study and
asked for help.
The pastor came into the room and began to
turn the dial. After the first two numbers he paused and stared blankly for a moment.
Finally he look serenely heavenward and his lips moved silently. Then he looked back at
the lock, and quickly turned to the final number, and opened the lock.
The teacher was amazed. "I'm in awe at
your faith, pastor," she said.
"It's really nothing," he
answered. "The number is on a piece of tape on the ceiling."
