THE GOLFING 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 had become 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, shortly, the URGE TO PLAY GOLF OVER CAME HIM. He called an assistant to tell him that he was SICK and could not do church, packed his car and drove 3 hours to a golf course where no one would recognize him...HAPPILY HE BEGAN TO PLAY. An ANGEL UP ABOVE was watching the preacher and was quite perturbed. He went to the Lord and said "look at that 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 away. A PICTURE PERFECT HOLE-IN-ONE. He was amazed an 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 said. THINK ABOUT IT-WHO CAN HE TELL?!! |
