Golf is God's Game
There was a preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance that he
could get, he could be found on the golf course swinging away. On
one particular Sunday it turned out to be a picture perfect day for golfing.
The sun was shining, the temperature was just right and there was very
little wind. The preacher was in a quandary and wasn't sure what
to do....play golf or give the Sunday service. The urge to play golf
overcame him and he called in his assistant to take care of the Sunday
service for him. The preacher packed up his car and drove 3 hours
to a course where no one would recognize him. An angel above was watching
the preacher and was quite perturbed. The angel went to God and said,
"look at the preacher. He should be punished for what he is doing."
God nodded in agreement.
All alone but enjoying it immensely, the preacher teed up on the first
hole. He swung at the ball and hit a perfect drive. The ball
ripped through the still air straight as an arrow and 400 yards later it
landed the green where it gently rolled into the cup. A tremendous
hole in one! The preacher was amazed and excited. The angel was in
shockand turned to God and said, "Begging your pardon, but I thought that
you were going to punish him?" God smiled and said, "I did....think
about it....who can he tell about this?
