Hello everyone here Ji, Fllowing mail send by my DIL, may be shared among every member here, with expected discussions on right or wrong by both ways of living. Performance Vs Position! A Priest dies & is awaiting his turn in line at the Heaven's Gates. Ahead of him is a guy, fashionably dressed, in dark sun glasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket & jeans. God: Please tell me who are you, so that I may know whether to admit you into the kingdom of Heaven or not? The guy: I am MALABARI, KSRTC driver from Kerala (India)!God consults his ledger, smiles & says to Mallu (As people from Malabar speak Malayalam, they are also nick named as Mallu): Please take this silken robe & gold scarf & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ... Now it is the priest's turn. He stands erect and speaks out in a booming voice: I am Pope's Assistant so & so, Head Priest of the so & so Church for the last 40 years. God consults his ledger & says to the Priest: Please take this cotton robe & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ... 'Just a minute,' says the agonized Priest. 'How is it that a foul mouthed, rash Driver is given a Silken robe & a Golden scarf and me, a Priest, who's spent his whole life preaching your Name &goodness has to make do with a Cotton robe?' 'Results my friend, results,' shrugs God. 'While you preached, people SLEPT; but when he drove, people PRAYED' It's PERFORMANCE & not POSITION that ultimately counts Your reactions are welcomed. May God bless You and have a great time.

I have also heard it said that the devil serves god more because when people think of the devil, they become afraid and start to pray. Cheers!!

That actually made me laugh. That's really funny. I feel sad for the priest though. I don't go by the philosophy of performance and not position but i do go by the philosophy of living your life not to the fullest BUT making the people around live it to the fullest.-Life's not about you...it's about others- (If everyone thinks that way and lives life that way..we won't ve having wars seriously..you'll just see love in every corner.) Thanks for this man. Made me laugh!
