    My uncle happen to send this to me.
    It could easily be changed to a Catholic priest or a Baptist minister or whatever ... hope no one is offended.

    peace,

    A man has been in business for many, many years and
    the business is going down the drain. He is seriously
    contemplating suicide and he doesn't know what to do.
    He goes to the rabbi to seek his advice.

    He tells the rabbi about all of his problems in the
    business and asks the rabbi what he should do.

    The rabbi says "Take a beach chair and a Bible and put
    them in your car and drive down to the edge of the
    ocean. Go to the water's edge. Take the beach chair
    out of the car, sit on it and take the Bible out and
    open it up. The wind will riffle the pages for a while
    and eventually the Bible will stay open at a
    particular page. Read the first words your eyes fall
    on and they will tell you what to do."

    The man does as he is told. He places a beach chair
    and a Bible in his car and drives down to the beach.
    He sits on the chair at the water's edge and opens the
    bible. The wind riffles the pages of the Bible and
    then stops at a particular page. He looks down at the
    Bible and his eyes fall on words which tell him what
    he has to do.

    Three months later the man and his family come back to
    see the rabbi.

    The man is wearing a $1,000 Italian suit, the wife is
    all decked out with a full-length mink coat and the
    child is dressed in beautiful silk. The man hands the
    rabbi a thick envelope full of money and tells him
    that he wants to donate this money to the synagogue in
    order to thank the rabbi for his wonderful advice.

    The rabbi is delighted. He recognizes the man and asks
    him what words in the Bible brought this good fortune
    to him.

    The man replies: "Chapter 11".
