It's Performance, Not Position that Counts

A priest dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates.

Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a

loud shirt, leather jacket and jeans.

Saint Peter addresses him, "Who are you, so that Imay know whether or not to admit you into theKingdom of Heaven?"The guy replies, "I'm Joe Cohen, taxi driver, from NewYork."Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to thetaxi driver, "Take this silken robe and golden staff andenter the Kingdom of Heaven."

Now it's the priest's turn. He stands erect and boomsout, "I am the Right Reverend Joseph Snow, pastor ofSaint Mary's for the last forty-three years."Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the priest,

"Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

"Just a minute," says the priest. "That man was a taxi driver. Why does he get a silken robe and goldenstaff?""Results," shrugged Saint Peter. "While you preached, people slept. When he drove, people prayed."Moral of the story: It's Performance, Not Position that Counts
