    Talking the pastor & the taxi driver...

    A South African Local Pastor dies and is waiting in line at heaven's Gates. Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket and jeans. The gatekeeper addresses him, "Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you into the Kingdom of Heaven?" The guy replies, "I'm Sipho Mlangeni, Taxi driver, from Soweto, South Africa, boss." The gatekeeper consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi driver, "Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven." Now it's the minister's turn. He stands erect and booms out, "I am the Right Reverend Joseph Snow, pastor of Saint Mary's for the last forty-three years." The gatekeeper 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 by results," explains the gatekeeper. "While you preached, people slept; while he drove, people prayed."

    A very good friend brought my attention to this passage, Thanks Daniellopia :)


    1 Timothy 1:15-17

    15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.


    Always praying & thinking of my dear friend AshleyB...if I could only be as strong as you are! <3 you!
