Houses in Heaven



One glorious night a Pastor passed away in his sleep and entered into heaven. Upon arriving in heaven he was taken along with the other new arrivals on a tour of heaven and each was given a new house to live in according to the service that they had preformed for God while they were alive on earth.

This made the Pastor very excited as he thought back over the 40+ years that he was a Pastor preaching to the congregation every Sunday.

Finally all the houses had been given out and it remained for only the Pastor and another person a Cab Driver to each get their own house. Stopping at the last two houses there appeared a small cottage and a huge mansion.

As the Pastor in anticipation stared at the mansion the Angel sent the Cab Driver over to the mansion and instructed the Pastor to the small cottage.

Immediately the Pastor asked the Angel for clarification and started to state his case for the mansion by reminding the Angel about all of his years of study and preaching that he had done while back on earth. The preacher went on to explain that he didn't want to make any comparisons with the other guy but the other guy was after all just a Cab Driver and with that said the preacher went on to explain that the Cab Driver really wasn't even much of a Cab Driver as he didn't have a valid drivers license and he couldn't even read enough English to understand the street signs or the instructions given to him by his passengers so the Preacher thought that certainly there must be some mistake.

But the Angel assured the Preacher that there was no mistake and that the cottage was for the Pastor while the mansion was for the Cab Driver.

The Pastor decided to protest and asked the Angel to explain this decision.

 
The Angel politely replied that well ... as a Preacher when you preached ... the people ... well ... they SLEPT ... But ... when this Cab Driver drove his cab ... the people ... well ... they PRAYED!!!

Hi Amy,

 

Glad that you liked it.

 

That was my favorite joke that I heard while at the School of Ministry I attended.

 

I thought it was really appropriate for us as a bunch of future Pastors to have the perspective that others deserve more credit than the so called professionals.

 

But Im not a Professional yet, hopefully some day, Im working on it.

 

God Bless you,
David

Hi! This is a 'funny' that a friend sent me recently.  Enjoy!

Subject: THE IMPORTANCE OF USING CORRECT E-MAIL ADDRESS 
 
A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend to thaw out during one particularly icy winter. Because both had jobs they decided the husband would fly to Florida on the Thursday and the wife would follow the next day. 
 
Upon arriving, as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. 
There he decided to send his wife, back in Minneapolis, an E-mail. 
However, he accidentally left off one letter in her address and sent it 
without realizing his error. 
 
In Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral. He had been a Minister for many years, and was just called home to "Glory" following a heart attack. The widow checked her E-mail, expecting messages from her friends and relatives. 
 
Upon reading the first E-mail she fainted and fell to the floor. The 
 widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
 
"To my loving wife. From your departed husband. I've arrived! I've been checked in and everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.  
 
Looking forward to seeing you!  Hope your journey will be as uneventful as mine was. 
 
PS Sure is hot down here !"
