A man was out sailing at sea in the middle of a storm when a particularly large wave overturned his boat. He fell into the sea and was forced to tread water to stay afloat.
He stayed there for several hours until a rescue helicopter flew overhead. A rope was lowered with a lifeguard worker on the end of it.
He reached out to grab the man, but being very religious, he said, "No thank you. God will save me eventually." The helicopter flew off.
After another few hours, a lifeboat came along, but again the man told them to go away, as God would save him.
Eventually, the man died of freezing in the water. As his soul drifted up to heaven, he said to Saint Peter, "Why didn't God save me?"
Saint Peter said, "He sent a rescue helicopter and a lifeboat! What more did you want?"
