An old man lives along the Mississippi River. The spring floods are worse than ever. As the river rises the old man was standing on his porch. A guy in a military truck drives by and yells, "Jump on and I will take you to high ground." His reply, "That's OK son, the Lord will provide."The next day, with the first floor flooded, the old man is on the second floor and a boat goes by. "Jump on and I will take you to high ground" said the operator on the boat. Again his reply, "That's OK son, the Lord will provide." On the third day the man is sitting on the peak of his roof. A helicopter flies up and the pilot yells, "Climb up the ladder and I will take you to high ground." Again his reply, "That's OK son, the Lord will provide." Suddenly the house collapses and the man drowns. At the Gates of St. Peter, he asks, "Oh Lord, why did you forsake me?" "Forsake you??? I sent three men to save you!"
