A preacher went to the stables to buy a horse. The stable owner chose a beautiful bay horse and brought it over to the preacher. The stable owner said, "This horse is just perfect for you. This beautiful mare was raised by another preacher and the commands that this horse obeys would be very appropriate for you. For giddi-up you say, "PRAISE GOD," and to stop you say, "AMEN."
The preacher was very pleased so he bought the horse and rode it home. On the way he crossed a meadow. His excitement at the beauty of the scene was overwhelming and he said "PRAISE GOD" and the horse galloped across toward some hills. He maintained his speed going up the hill and then he saw a cliff! "What was I supposed to say to stop?? What? What? What? Oh yes! AMEN!! AMEN!"
The horse stopped at the very edge of a cliff. The preacher wiped the sweat off his brow said, "PRAISE GOD"!!
