Stranded on the Desert Island

Helen Island, Helen Reef, Palau. Original desc... Biblical Joke and Humor!After the storm the young man's boat was nearly torn to shreds. The sail was ripped, compass and GPS gone, and he was adrift at sea. Days passed. Finally arriving at a deserted island he built a signal fire to light when a ship would appear on the horizon. Completely alone, weeks passed. Then months; and years. Finally he spied a vessel and remembered that signal fire he built so long ago. To his delight the ship turned to rescue him from his isolation!

On the dingy pulling away from shore the captain of the ship looked back at the isolated castaway's "community" he had built over the years. There were three structures.

"Did you build those?" the Captain asked.

"Yes, that was my village," the man answered.

"What is that first structure over there," the Captain inquired.

"That was where I lived; that was my house," the man explained.

The Captain went on. "And what is that structure there?"

"That is my church," the man explained.

The Captain was deeply struck by the man's sincere piety. Even isolated on a deserted island, the man built a church to worship the Lord. Through his tearing eyes he asked about the third structure.

"And that building there, what was that," the Captain asked.

The man quickly answered, "Oh, that is where I use to go to church."
