Duct tape or Nails?

A man dies and goes to heaven.

Of course, St. Peter meets him at the Pearly Gates.

St. Peter says, "Here's how it works.

You need 100 points to make it into heaven

You tell me all the good things you've done,
and I give you a

certain number of points for each item,

depending on how good it w as.

When you reach 100 points, you get in."

"Okay," the man says,

"I was

married to the same woman for 50 years

and never cheated on her, even in my heart."
"That's wonderful," says St.Peter, "that's worth three points!"

"Three points?" he says.

"Well, I attended church all my life


"Terrific!" says St. Peter. "That's certainly worth a point."

"One point!?!!"

"I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a shelter
for homeless veterans."

"Fantastic, that's good for two more points," he says.

"Two points!?!! "Exasperated, the man cries.

"At this rate the only way I'll get into heaven

is by the grace of God."

"Bingo, 100

points! Come on in!"


We often try to fix problems

with WD-40 and duct tape.
God did it with nails

"For it is by grace you have been saved,

through Faith - and this not from yourselves,

it is the gift of God - not by works,

so that no one can boast."

Ephesians 2:9 NIV
