I have a couple of good Easter writings I want to send out before Easter Sunday.
 
This one was forwarded to me by Wilma and Lee Gamblin, former pastor family from the Clarion Church of the Nazarene:
 
 
WD-40 and Duct Tape
 
 
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 100 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 100 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!?!!"  Exasperated, the man cries. "At this rate the
only way I'll get into heaven is by the grace of God." 

"Bingo, 100 points! Come on in!" 

We often try to fix problems with WD-40 and duct tape. 

God did it with a nail. 

AMEN!
