God and the Devil


Humor:

Pastor Johnson had served his parish faithfully for 40 years, when the congregation acquired an assistant pastor. One Sunday the assistant was scheduled to conduct the morning worship. Pastor Johnson, seeing that he had the day off, decided to play a round of golf, as many of his parishioners had done through the years.

God and the devil were having a discussion on the condition of the world. The devil was just telling God that he was making headway in his plan to take over. God said that would never happen because He had many faithful workers to prevent it. Just then they spotted Pastor Johnson, about to tee up on the most difficult hole on the course. It was a par-5, 495 yard, dog-leg, over water, with sand protecting the green on three sides.

The devil said, See there is one of your faithful. It appears that he has fallen away and that means I've got control. God replied, I have faith in him, he will hear the church bells and return to what is right for him to do, and if not I will have to punish him.

Pastor Johnson listened as he heard the bells of a nearby church, then addressed the ball. He hit what can only be described as the shot that would make Tiger Woods envious. The ball went to the joint of the dog-leg, took a bounce toward the green, past the water, over the sand, took one hop and dropped in the cup. The devil said, I thought you said that you were going to punish him. God replied, I did, who can he tell.
