A minister dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him is a guy whos dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket and jeans. Saint Peter addresses this cool guy, Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven? Im Peter Pilot, retired United Airlines Pilot from Chicago, the guy replies. Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the pilot, Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom. The pilot goes into Heaven with his robe and staff. ...Next its the ministers turn. He stands erect and booms out, I am Joseph Snow, pastor of Saint Marys in Pasadena for the last 43 years. Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the minister, Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom. Just a minute, says the minister, that man was a pilot and he gets a silken robe and golden staff, and I get only cotton and wood. How can this be? Up here, we work by results, says Saint Peter. While you preached, people slept; while he flew, people prayed.
