I'd like to start with something funny. and I heard about this minister that died.

He was standing in line at the pearly gates, and in front of him was a man dressed in a loud shirt, wearing blue jeans and sunglasses.

St. Peter asked, what's your name, sir?

He said, my name is Joe Cohen, taxi cab driver, New York City. Peter checked his list and handed him a gold

staff and a silk robe and said, welcome to heaven. The minister stepped up and said, I'm Reverend

Joseph Snow, pastor of St. Mary's Cathedral. Peter checked his list and handed him a cotton robe

and a wooden staff.

He said, hey, wait a minute.

It's not fair.

The taxi cab driver got a gold staff and a silk robe.

How could that be?

Peter said, sir, up here, we worked by results.

When you preached, people slept.

But when he drove, people prayed.

All right. Hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it.
