A group of men sat around the pot-bellied stove in the country store, discussing the mysteries of life. "I'm going deaf and blind," sighed one old fellow. "I don't know what the good Lord wants to leave me here for."
"Now, Mr. McCain," replied his friend, "the Lord's ways are not our ways, and we can't always understand. But if He's left you here He's got work for you to do."
Mr. McCain sat for a minute in quiet meditation, then announced, "Well, I'm not a-gonna do it."
