GOD'S WOOD AND GOD'S IRON

Famed evangelist, Billy Kelly, received a donation of some Jack Daniel's aging barrels. He used them to make lemonade at his Greer Baptist Camp Meeting. He quipped that he didn't know if where from the Spirit or the spirits, but that they sure had enjoyed wonderful services that first afternoon. When asked if were appropriate to use whiskey barrels at a Christian camp meeting, Billy replied, "That was God's wood and God's iron in that band. The Devil has had them long enough. We're putting them back to God's use!"
