There was
this preacher who was an avid golfer.
Every chance he could get, he could be
found on the golf course swinging away.
It was an obsession.
One Sunday was a picture perfect day for
golfing. The sun was out, no clouds in
the sky, and the temperature was just
right. The preacher was in a quandary as
to what to do, and shortly, the urge to
play golf overcame him. He called an
assistant to tell him that he was sick
and could not do church, packed the car
up, and drove three hours to a golf
course where no one would recognize him.
Happily, he began to play the course.
An angel up above was watching the
preacher and was quite perturbed. He
went to God and said, "Look at the
preacher. He should be punished for what
he is doing." God nodded in agreement.
The preacher teed up on the first hole.
He swung at the ball, and it sailed
effortlessly through the air and landed
right in the cup three hundred and fifty
yards away. A picture perfect DOUBLE
EAGLE! He was amazed and excited.
The angel was a little shocked. He
turned to God and said, "Begging Your
pardon, but I thought you were going to
punish him."
God smiled. "Think about it -- who can
he tell?"
