1. A pastor dies and goes to heaven. There he is given a small house. He is thankful and gives thanks. He goes outside to look around. He sees a taxi driver who also died, and notices he was given a mansion with gold trim. Then the pastor tells an angel "I don't understand. I have served the lord my whole life, and yet I get less than a taxi driver." The angel replies "It's like this. When you preached, people slept. When he drove people prayed."
2. One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. The plaque was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it. The seven-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning Alex." "Good morning pastor," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque. "Pastor McGhee, what is this?" Alex asked. "Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service." Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque. Little Alex's voice was barely audible when he asked, "Which service, the 8:30 or the 11:00?"
