Message from Heaven
Two middle-aged men sit on a park bench and talk about what they think heaven will be like. As a baseball lover, one man says to the other, “I REALLY hope there’s baseball to be played in the heaven! That would make everything worth it.”
The other man replies, “It sure would, I haven’t been able to play baseball in years but would love the chance to play in heaven.
Tragically, the next day one of the men has a heart attack and dies. Devasted, his friend returns to the same park bench and weeps for hours. That evening the man hears a voice speaking to him saying, “Hey! It’s me! Guess what!?”
Thrilled to hear his old friends voice, he replies, “Oh my gosh is that you?! You gotta tell me: what’s heaven like?”
“Well I’ve got some really really great news, and I also have some not-so-great news… But there IS baseball in heaven,” he spoke excitedly.
The man on the bench was so happy he nearly screamed, “That’s the best news ever! What could POSSIBLY the bad news?”
The voice responds, “You are pitching on Tuesday…”
