There’s an old golf joke…
One Sunday morning, the minister begs off sick and gets his assistant to cover for him at church while the minister sneaks out to play golf by himself. On the first hole, the minister drives the ball into the woods but it bounces out onto the green. On the second hole, he rolls in a 60-foot putt. The rest of the round proceeds in similar fashion, and the minister shoots the best score of his life.
Up in Heaven, God and St. Peter are watching. “Why are you rewarding him like this?” St. Peter asks. “He lied about being sick, and he’s playing games on the Sabbath!”
And God turns to St. Peter and says, “Who can he tell about it?”Report
