A pastor wakes up one Sunday morning. It's a glorious day, sunny, cool, no breeze. He feels the golf course beckoning, calls his associate and feigning illness asks him to preach that morning's message. That done, he tosses the clubs in the trunk of the car and heads for the greens.
Meanwhile Jesus and the Father are looking down from heaven watching. As the pastor gets to the first tee, the Father says to Jesus, "Watch this Son!" The pastor strikes a magnificent shot, the ball makes it to the green and rolls 15 feet into the cup. A hole in one!
Jesus watches with great consternation. Once again, the Father speaks, "Now watch this!"
Again the pastor steps up to the tee. Again his club connects with the ball and it sails to the green, this time rolling 30 some feet into the cup. Another hole in one!
No longer able to contain Himself, Jesus says to the Father, "Father, this man of God lied to his associate, skipped church to be here on the links and You've just given him TWO holes in one!"
The Father smiles to His Son and replies, "Yes Son, and he'll never be able to tell a living soul."
