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 can 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!" the man cries. "At this rate,
the only way I get into heaven is by the grace
of God!""Bingo! 100 points! Come on in!"
