The local preacher hired a painter to paint his house. The job looked good when completed, but after a couple of weeks the new paint began to fade and peel.
The preacher had the painter come out and inspect the house, and the painter was apologetic. "I tried too hard to save money on the job to maximize my profit," he confessed. "I put way too much thinner in the paint. I'd like to make it right. What can I do?"
The preacher thought a bit, recalled John 8:11, and said, "Go, my son, and repaint, and thin no more."
