There is a story of a young boy playing on a roof. He slips and is
sliding towards a precipitious drop. Immediatelythe boy starts to
pray: "Please Lord, I'll keep my room clean." He continues to
slide. "Please, Lord, I'll never hit my little brother again." He
continues to slide. "Please, Lord, I'll never do anything wrong
again in my life." All of a sudden he comes to a stop ... and says,
"Forget it, Lord -- I got caught on a nail!"
