This is said to be a favorite story of Lyndon Johnson’s.<>
A preacher was becoming terribly distracted by a man who came to church every Sunday and slept through the entire sermon.<>
One Sunday the preacher decided to do something about it.<>
As he began to preach, the man, true to form, fell fast asleep.<>
Whereupon the preacher said quietly, “Everyone who wants to go to heaven, stand up.” The entire congregation immediately stood up, except the sleeping man.<>
When they sat down, the preacher shouted at the top of his voice, “Everyone who want to go to hell, stand up.”<>
This startled the dozing man.<>
Still half asleep, he jumped up, looked around to see what was going on, then said to the preacher,<>
“I don’t know what we’re voting on but it looks like you and I are the only ones in favor of it.”<>
