100 Points
A man dies and goes to heaven. Of course, St. Peter meets him at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter says, "Here's how it works. You need 100 points to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things you've done, and I give you a certain number of points for each item, depending on how good it was. When you reach 100 points, you get in."
"Okay," the man says, "I was married to the same woman for 50 years and never cheated on her, even in my heart."
"That's wonderful," says St. Peter, "that's worth three points!"
"Three points?" he says. "Well, I attended church all my life and supported its ministry with my tithe and service."
"Terrific!" says St. Peter. "That's certainly worth a point."
"One point?!! I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a shelter for homeless veterans."
"Fantastic, that's good for two more points," he says.
"Two points!?!!" Exasperated, the man cries, "At this rate, the only way I'll get into heaven is by the grace of God."
"Bingo - 100 points! Come on in!"
We often try to fix problems with WD-40 and duct tape.....God did it with a nail.

A REQUEST
Dear Woodlawn Family,
I will be working full-time with the youth group this summer, and because my lease expires at the end of May, I am looking for a place to live from then until the middle of August. I have talked to the elders, and they suggested that I ask you, the congregation, if anyone would be willing to lend a room to me for the summer. I am willing to pay rent, and I will provide my own meals. If you are interested, please contact me at (979) 777-6579, or just talk to me next time we meet.
Thanks, and God bless,
David Taylor
