A man dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter meets him at the pearly gates. St. Peter says, Heres how it works. You need 100 points to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things youve 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 attended church every Sunday Thats good, says St. Peter, thats worth two points Two points? he says. Well, I gave 10% of all my earnings to the church Well, lets see, answers Peter, thats worth another 2 points. Did you do anything else? Two points? Golly. How about this: I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a shelter for homeless veterans. Fantastic, thats certainly worth a point, he says. hmmm..., the man says, I was married to the same woman for 50 years and never cheated on her, even in my heart. Thats wonderful, says St. Peter, thats worth three points! THREE POINTS!! the man cries, At this rate the only way I get into heaven is by the grace of God! Come on in!
