Criminal steals lumber
A man with a nagging secret couldn't keep it any longer. In the confessional he admitted that for years he had been stealing building supplies from the lumberyard where he worked. " What did you take? " his priest asked. " Enough to build my own house and enough for my son's house. And houses for our two daughters and our cottage at the lake. " " This is very serious, " the priest said. " I shall have to think of a far- reaching penance. Have you ever done a retreat? " " No, Father, I haven't, " the man replied. " But if you can get the plans, I can get the lumber. "
