The Preacher
 
There was once a very inspirational preacher, but
he had a tremendous weakness for golf. Every  chance he could get, he could be found on the golf course swinging away. It was an obsession
for him.
 
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. She 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. Wow! A picture perfect hole-in-one. He was
amazed and ecstatic.
 
The angel was a little shocked. She turned to God
and said, 'Begging Your pardon, but I thought you
were going to punish him.'
 
The Lord smiled and said, 'Think about it -- who can he tell?'
