HEAVEN'S ENTRANCE EXAM


A man dies and goes to heaven. Of course, St. Peter meets him at
the pearly gates. St. Peter says, "Here's how it works. You need
1000 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 1000 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 three points!"
"Three 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!" the man cries. "At this rate the only way I get
into heaven is by the grace of God.
"Come on in!"> .
