A Special Day

[Jacob Gilbert]

A Special Day

Jesus, Moses and an old man were teeing off on the 16th hole
on heaven's golf course. The 16th hole is a par 3 (short)
over a lake. Moses, the first to tee off, steps up and
swings, and the ball dives right for the water. He
instantly spreads his arms, the water parts, and the ball
rolls across the bottom of the lake and up on to the green.
The others complement him on his shot, and then Jesus steps
up for his turn. Like Moses, Jesus' ball heads straight for
the water, but when it gets there, it just rolls across the
surface of the lake, continuing until it gets across and
rolls up onto the green. After showering him with
complements, the old man steps up to take his shot. His
ball also dives for the lake, but bounces off the back of a
turtle and on to the far shore. There, a squirrel picks up
the ball and heads for the woods. As the others begin to
laugh, a hawk swoops down and picks up the squirrel. As the
hawk flies over the green, it squeezes the squirrel. The
ball falls out of the squirrels mouth, bounces once on the
green, and then rolls into the cup. Jesus turns to the man
and says, "Nice shot dad!"
