Father Nelson at the Pearly Gates
Father Nelson passed away and went to heaven. At the Pearly Gates, St. Peter greeted him warmly and said, “You’ve been a good priest. Welcome to heaven!”
Father Nelson looked around and asked, “What’s my reward?”
St. Peter smiled and pointed to a modest house. “Here’s your heavenly home.”
Just then, a cab driver zoomed past in a golden car and stopped at a mansion.
Father Nelson exclaimed, “Why does the cab driver get that?”
St. Peter replied, “Father, when you preached, people fell asleep. But when he drove, everyone prayed.”
