Amen!"
Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on
the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was
tired of hearing all the bickering. Finally fed up, God said,
"THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will
run for two hours and from those results, I will judge who does the
better job."
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.
They moused.
They faxed.
They e-mailed.
They e-mailed with attachments.
They downloaded.
Thet did spreadsheets.
They wrote reports.
They created labels and cards.
They created charts and graphs.
They did some genealogy reports.
They did every job known to man.
Jesus worked with heavenly efficiently and Satan was faster than hell.
Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly
flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course
the power went off. Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every
curse known in the underworld. Jesus just signed. Finally the
electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers.
Satan started searching frantically, screaming: "It's gone! It's all
GONE1 I lost everything when the power went out!". Meanwhile, Jesus
quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours
of work. Satan observed this and became irate. "Wait!" he screamed.
"That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't
have any? God just shrugged and said, "Jesus saves."
