One day a young man inherited a farm.  This man had wanted to have a farm and now was his chance.  The man worked very hard doing all the farm chores and tried to do everything right yet things never went right and nothing seemed to go his way.  Therefore, one day a he prayed to the Lord and he said asked God to show him what he wanted the man to do.  The man was lying in his hammock sleeping not long after this when he looked up into the clouds and he saw the clouds form two letters PC.  The man went running into the house yelling to his wife I know what God wants me to do.  He told me that I need to preach Christ.  Therefore, the man sold his farm, got his education, and became a minister.  After a while one of the elders of the church came up to him and told him, “ We love you and we know that you are trying to do your best and you work very hard but you just can not preach” Well the man told the elder about the farm experience and the elder, being a farmer himself, asked the man, “Are you sure God did not mean plant corn?"
