Hell
Just Got Nicer
An engineer dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter meets him at the gate and
says, "What! An Engineer! You're in the wrong place! Beat it!"
So, he goes
down to Hell, and gets settled in. But he soon becomes dissatisfied with
conditions there, and begins to make improvements. Before long, there's
running water, flush toilets, escalators, even air conditioning, and the
engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day God
calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer,
"So, how's it going down there?"
Satan replies,
"Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush
toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going
to come up with next."
God replies,
"What! You've got an engineer? That's a mistake -- he should never
have gotten down there. Send him up right away!
Satan says,
"No way! I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping
him."
God says,
"Send him back up here or I'll sue your shiny red pants off!"
"Oh,
yeah?" the Devil replies. "Where are you going to get a lawyer?!?"
Dear Pastor,
I know God loves everybody but He never met
my sister.

Dear Pastor,
Please say in your sermon that Peter Peterson has been a good boy all

Dear Pastor,
I'm sorry I can't leave more money in the plate, but my father didn't
give me a raise in my allowance. Could you have a sermon about a raise
in my allowance?
Love,

Dear Pastor,
My mother is very religious. She goes to play bingo at church every week
even if she has a cold.

Dear Pastor,
I would like to go to heaven someday because I know my brother won't be
there.

Dear Pastor,
I think a lot more people would come to your church if you moved it to
Disneyland.

Dear Pastor,
I liked your sermon where you said that good health is more important
than money but I still want a raise in my allowance.

Thank you.

Dear Pastor,
My father says I should learn the Ten Commandments. But I don't think
I want to because we have enough rules already in my house.

Are there any devils on earth? I think there may be one in my class.

Dear Pastor,
How does God know the good people from the bad people? Do you tell Him
or does He read about it in the newspapers?
Sincerely,
