Preacher and cabbie

After a preacher died and went to heaven, he noticed that a New York cab driver had been awarded a higher place than he. “œI don’t understand,” he complained to Saint Peter. “œI devoted my entire life to my congregation.” “Our policy here in Heaven is to reward results, “Saint Peter explained. “Now, was your congregation well attuned to you whenever you gave a sermon?” “Well,” the minister had to admit,” some in the congregation fell asleep from time to time.” “Exactly,” said Saint Peter.” And when people rode in this man’s taxi, they not only stayed awake, they prayed nonstop.”
