The water level is quickly rising, but he has faith that the lord will save him. As the water is up to his knees, an old man in a rowboat sails on up.
"Hey there," he says. "Need a lift?"
The priest shakes his head. "No, for I have faith that the lord will save me. Use your boat to find those more in need."
The rowboat heads off, and soon the water is up to the priest's chest. As he's struggling, a large motorboat rides up with a young couple on it.
"Hey!" the man says. "Jump on, we'll take you to safety!"
The priest again shakes his head. "No, I have faith that the lord will save me. Find those more in need."
The couple heads off. The water is now up to the priest's neck, and he's having issues staying afloat. A rescue boat loaded with supplies comes racing up to him.
"Grab my hand!" the captain yells. "We gotta get out of here!"
"No!" The priest yells. "There are others who need help. I assure you, the lord will save me!"
Reluctantly, the rescue boat rides off. Sadly, the water becomes too much for the priest to deal with... he goes under, and he never comes up.
He finds himself in heaven, absolutely stunned. After going through the pearly gates, he walks straight up to God himself.
"Lord," the priest says, "I spent my life devoted to you. I truly believed that you would protect me through the hardest times in my life. Yet when I needed you most, when my life was at stake, you weren't there for me!"
"What are you talking about?" God replies. "I tried like three times!"
