Baptizing a Drunk

This is a shout out to fellow Church Army Captain Debbie Cochran. Thanks for the forward.  I definately got a smile out of it!
————————————————————————————

A man is stumbling through the woods, totally drunk, when
 
he comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the river.
 
He proceeds to walk into the water and subsequently bumps
 
into the preacher. The preacher turns around and is almost
 
overcome by the smell of alcohol, whereupon he asks the
 
drunk, “Are you ready to find Jesus?”
 
The drunk answers, “Yes, I am.” So the preacher
 
grabs him and dunks him in the water.
 
He pulls him up and asks the drunk,
 
 ”Brother have you found Jesus?”
 
The drunk replies, “No, I haven’t found Jesus.”
 
The preacher shocked at the answer, dunks him
 
into the water again for a little longer.
 
He again pulls him out of the water and asks again, “Have
 
you found Jesus my brother?”
 
The drunk again answers, “No, I haven’t found Jesus.”
 
By this time the preacher is at his wits end and dunks the
 
drunk in the water again — - but this time holds him down
 
for about 30 seconds and when he begins kicking his arms
 
and legs he pulls him up.
 
The preacher again asks the drunk, “For the love of
 
God have you found Jesus?”
 
The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says
 
to the preacher,
