~The Painter` (Second time around)( Plus: today in history, word for the day, todays horoscope, Maxine )        
There was a Scottish painter named Smokey Macgregor who was very interested in making a penny where he could, so he often thinned down his paint to make it go a wee bit further.

As it happened, he got away with this for some time. Eventually, the local church decided to do a big restoration job on the outside of one of their biggest buildings. 

Smokey put in a bid and, because his price was so low, he got the job.  So he set about erecting the scaffolding and setting up the planks, and buying the paint and yes, I am sorry to say, thinning it down with water. 

Well, Smokey was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly completed, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder. The sky opened and the rain poured down, washing the thinned paint from all over the church and knocking Smokey clear off the scaffold to land on the lawn among the gravestones, surrounded by telltale puddles of the thinned and useless paint..

Smokey was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so he got down on his knees and cried:
 

"Oh God, Oh God, forgive me; what should I do?" 

From the thunder, a mighty voice spoke.
