The pastor of a local congregation had a great idea for a new program, so he presented it to his board of elders. The eight wise elders listened without expression as he excitedly laid out his vision. Then they took a vote on the new program and only the pastor voted for it. The clerk said, "let the minutes reflect that the vote was 1 in favor and 8 against. The motion fails. Pastor, would you close this meeting with a prayer?" The pastor stood up and earnestly prayed, "God, I know that this vision is from you. Please reveal your will to the elders of this church." Immediately at these words, the roof opened up, a blinding light shone down, and a booming voice from heaven declared "Your pastor has spoken my word! This IS my plan for the church!" Then the light disappeared and the roof closed up. There was an awkward moment of silence, then the clerk said, "Well! That changes things. Let the minutes be amended to show that the vote on was 2 in favor, and 8 against. Motion still fails."
