Bill,A new pastor was assigned to a little country parish.
The third week or so, they had a huge blizzard. That Sunday only one parishioner showed up for Mass. When it came time for the homily, the priest said to the lone farmer in the pew, "well Fred, should I brother preaching today?"
Fred responed,"Father, If only one of my sheep came to feed, I would still feed him."
Being encouraged by Fred's enthusiasm, the pastor went preached a three hour sermon. When he was finished he said to the farmer, "Well Fred, what d'ya think?"
Fred thought for a moment and said "If only one of my sheep showed up to feed, I wouldn't give him the whole damned load".
