A pastor had accepted an assignment at a local church. The only problem was
the church and his residence was separated by a fair sized channel of water.
Each morning the pastor would rise and go down to catch the ferry to the other
side on which his church and its members were located.
On Thursday’s, the pastor scheduled his visitations to his congregation members.
Since many of his members worked during the day, the pastor’s visitations often
ran late into the evenings. The last ferry boat left the dock at 9:00pm so in
order to make it home and not be stuck on the other side he always was very
conscious to leave his last visitation in enough time to make it to the dock.
Although he had never missed the ferry, he was always concerned that one day he
might and then he would have to stay on the other side for the night- away from
his wife and children.
One night his visitations had run very late. He hurried to the docks. As he came
upon the docks, he worst fear was realized. He saw the ferry about 10 feet from
the dock. He thought that if he ran fast enough and had a good running jump that
he could possibly make the jump onto the ferry and not be stuck on this side for
the night. The pastor took off, flew like superman through the air, and landed
on the ferry- splat. With everyone looking, he picked himself up and dusted
himself off. A grin appeared across his face and he felt proud he had been able
to make the jump- although everyone was looking at him like he was crazy. The
man in charge of the ferryboat appeared and chastised him for his dangerous
stunt. The pastor apologized and stated he just didn’t want to be stuck away
from his family for the night. The man in charge replied, "Well, if you had just
waited a few more minutes- we were about to dock!"
