A minister dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates, Ahead of him is a guy who s dressed in a loud shirt, leather jacket, jeans and wearing sunglasses. Saint Peter addresses this guy, Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven. The guy replies, I m Joe Cohen, taxi-driver, of New York City, Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi-driver, Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The taxi-driver goes into Heaven with his robe and staff, and it s the minister s turn. He stands erect and booms out, I am Joseph Snow, pastor of Saint Mary s for the last forty-three years. Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the minister, Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Just a minute, says the minister. That man was a taxi-driver and he gets a silken robe and golden staff. How can this be? Up here, we work results, says Saint Peter. While you preached, people slept; while he drove, people prayed.
