BASEBALL IN HEAVEN
------------------
The preacher and his song leader were avid baseball fans.
When they were not working on the following Sunday's sermons or
music program, they were talking baseball, attending a big game,
playing pitch in the park, or coaching a Little League team. These
guys lived for baseball!
During a theological discussion one day, the question came
up about whether or not there would be baseball in heaven. Hey,
heaven is supposed to be perfect, isn't it? We'll not want for
anything, will we? [Surely], there will be baseball in heaven.
As the discussion progressed, it was decided that which ever of
them was the first to die would somehow attempt to contact the
other from beyond the grave (hey, jokes don't have to be
[completely] Scriptural, do they?) and tell him whether there
was baseball in heaven.
As fate would have it, the music director was the first to
go to his reward. After about three days, he appeared to his
pastor in a dream one night and said, "Well, I've got some good
news and some bad news. The good news is, there is indeed
baseball in heaven. The bad news is, you're scheduled to pitch
this Saturday."
