Gee I hope this isn't inappropriate but it reminds me of a joke...

There's a very heavy rainstorm, the local town creek overflows and everyone begins to evacuate. As the water in the street is rising, people take to boats because their cars are now underwater.

A man in a boat passes his neighbor's house and sees the neighbor in an upstairs window. He calls to the neighbor "Don't worry, I'll come get you, you can climb in my boat and I'll take you to safety!"

The man in the window refuses the help. "God will protect me" he says, and he waves the man away in the boat.

The rain continues and the man has to climb out of his window and onto his roof to stay above the level of the rising water. A coast guard boat comes by looking for people to rescue, sees the man, and heads to the house to save the man.

Once again, the old man refuses the help. "I will stay here with my house, God will not allow any harm to come to me." So the Coast Guard goes on it's way.

The water keeps rising, completely covers the house, and the man has to climb up and perch on his chimney to keep his head above water. A National Guard helicopter appears overhead, they spot the man, and throw down a rope ladder to save the man. Again, the man refuses the help. "I have faith in God, he will not let me die." So the helicopter flies away.

The rain keeps coming, the water rises above the chimney, over the man's head, and the man drowns. In Heaven, the man meets with God. The man is rather upset. "I prayed and prayed to you, and still you let me drown and die! Did you not hear my prayers?" And God said to him "I heard your prayers! That's why I sent you two boats and a helicopter!"
