Preacher
There was this preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance he could get,
he could be found on the golf course, swinging away. It was an obsession.
One Sunday was a picture perfect day for golfing. The sun was out, no
clouds in the sky, and the temperature was just right. The preacher was in
a quandary as to what to do, and shortly, the urge to play golf overcame
him. He called an assistant to tell him that he was sick and could not do
church, packed the car up, and drove three hours to a golf course where no
one would recognize him. Happily, he began to play the course.
An angel up above was watching the preacher and was quite perturbed. He
went to the Lord and said, "Look at the preacher. He should be punished
for what he is doing." The Lord nodded in agreement. The preacher teed up
on the first hole. He swung at the ball, and it sailed effortlessly
through the air and landed right in the cup three hundred and fifty yards
(meters) away. A picture perfect hole-in-one. He was amazed and excited.
The angel was a little shocked. He turned to The Lord and said, "Begging
Your pardon, but I thought you were going to punish him." The Lord
smiled. "Think about it-who can he tell?"
