A Priest dies & is awaiting his turn in line at the Heaven's Gates. Ahead
of him is a guy, nattily dressed, in dark sun glasses, a loud shirt, jacket & jeans.
God asks him: Please tell me who are you, so that I may know whether to
admit you into the kingdom of Heaven or not?
The guy replies: I am Johhny J., taxi driver from New York !
God consults his ledger, smiles & says to Johhny J.: Please take this
silken robe & gold scarf & enter the Kingdom of Heaven .
Now it is the priest's turn. He stands erect and speaks out in a booming
I am Pope's Assistant so & so, Head Priest of the so & so Church the last
40 years.
God consults his ledger & says to the Priest: Please take this cotton robe
& enter the Kingdom of Heaven .
'Just a minute,' says the agonized Priest. 'How is it that a foul mouthed,
driving Taxi Driver is given a Silken robe & a Golden scarf and me, a
who's spent his whole life preaching your Name & goodness has to
do with a Cotton robe?'
'Results my friend, results,' shrugs God.
'While you preached, people SLEPT; but when he drove his taxi, people
PRAYED.
Moral of the story: It's PERFORMANCE & not POSITION that matters....
