Party time!


Back in 2011, I made up a joke. It’s not the funniest joke ever, but I thought I’d share it anyway. I hope you like it.

There are a few things worth noting first, though. At the time, I was much more spiritually/religiously naïve than I am these days. I didn’t know yet that not everyone observes Sunday as the Sabbath. Also, I imagined Heaven to be a place where there is no economy, people do not have jobs, etc. I imagined the angels spending most of their time worshiping and socializing. I imagined Heaven to be a very fun place.

So, here’s the joke…

Imagine, if you will, a new arrival from Earth meeting Saint Peter at the gates of Heaven. The new arrival and Saint Peter handle their official at-the-gates-of-Heaven business, and then Saint Peter gives them a quick explanation of what they can expect to find in Heaven. “Welcome to Heaven. Here, we party every night like it’s Saturday night… except for Saturday night”.

(Because folks have to get up early for church on Sunday. Get it? Get it?)

Is it a knee-slapper? Is it a groaner? I don’t know. I do remember, though, that at the time, I thought it was just about the funniest thing ever. 🙂

God bless all of you!
