For by Grace Are You Saved

A man dies and goes to heaven.  St. Peter meets him at the
Pearly Gates and says, 'Here's how it works.  You need 100
points to make it into heaven.  You tell me all the good
things you've done, and I give you a certain number of
points for each item, depending on how good it was.  When
you reach 100 points, you get in.' 

'Okay,' the man says,
'I was married to the same woman for 50 years and never
cheated on her, even in my heart.' 

'That's wonderful,'
says St. Peter, 'that's worth two points!' 


'Two points?!' he says.


'Well, I attended church all my life and supported its
ministry with my tithe and service.' 

'Terrific!' says St.
Peter,  'That's certainly worth a point.' 


'One point!?!!' 

'I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a
shelter for homeless veterans.' 

'Fantastic, that's good for
two more points,' he says. 


'Two points!?!! 


'Exasperated, the man cries.  'At this rate the only way
I'll get into heaven is by the grace of God.' 


'Bingo! 100 points!  Come on in!' 



We often try to fix problems with WD-40 and duct tape. 

God did it with a nail. 

AMEN!

Which Are You?

Some people bring joy wherever they go; some bring joy only
when they go!

He is Risen!

On the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb
bringing the spices which they had prepared. And they found the
stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did
not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly
stood near them in dazzling clothing; and as the women were
terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them,
"Why do you seek the living One among the dead? He is not here,
but He has risen."
