Duct  Tape or a Nail?
A man dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter meets him at the  Pearly Gates and 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 was. 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, &  loved her deep in my heart.'
 
'That's wonderful,' says St.Peter, 'that's  worth two points!'  
 
'Two points!?' he says. 'Well, I attended  church all my life and supported its ministry with my tithe  and service..'  
 
'Terrific!' say's 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!'
All too often, we forget about God's Grace.
We often try to  fix problems with WD-40 or Duct Tape.  
God did it with 3  nails.
 
AMEN... IN GOD WE TRUST
