Never too late...

[wompus]

A preacher was making his rounds on a bicycle, when he came upon a young boy
trying to sell a lawn mower. "How much do you want for the mower?" asked
the preacher. "I just want enough money to go out and buy me a bicycle."
said the boy.

After a moment of consideration, the preacher asked, "Will you take my bike
in trade for it?" The boy asked if he could try it out first. He told the
preacher he hadn't ridden a bicycle in a long time and wasn't sure he
remembered how to ride one.

The preacher told him, "Just keep trying. It'll come back to you." After
riding the bike around a little while, the boy said, "Mister, you've got
yourself a deal."

The preacher took the mower and began to crank it. He pulled on the rope a
few times with no response from the mower. The preacher called the
youngster over and said, "I can't get this mower to start." The boy said,
"That's because you have to cuss at it to get it started."

The preacher said, "I can't cuss. It's been so long since I became a
Christian that I don't even remember how to cuss."

The little boy looked at him happily and said, "You just keep pulling on
that rope. It'll come back to you!"
