The Executive

The Executive Story/ poem There was once a high class executive Lady. She had a very high paying job and made a lot of money. She was very rich and hung out with the rich and famous. It happened one day while crossing the street to her job, she got run over by a bus and died. When she gets to heaven, St. Peter meets her at the door and asked who she was. She said I'm Jane the executive. St. Peter nod his head and said - very few people of your kind make it here. He then said you have to choose where you want to spend the rest of eternity, if it's Heaven or Hell. She said - I'll take Heaven she said, St. Peter said - It's not that easy. You have to spend 24 hrs. in Hell and than 24 in Heaven, than you decide. He took her down to Hell and the door open He just told the main man there - she is here for her 24 hrs. I will be back tomorrow for her. The very well dressed man told her, do come in. Jane saw that it was beautiful in there. It was like a beautiful city. There were lots of stores, restaurants and night clubs. She was impressed. She went to a club and there she saw some of her friends that had passed away before her. They were happy to see her. They had a great party that night. Before she knew, her time was up. St. Peter came for her. Now was her time in Heaven. There She saw a lot of Angels singing and everything was peaceful. The 24 hrs. were up and St. Peter ask her if she had make up her mind and what had she chosen. She said I never thought I would say this, but I choose Hell. He said - are you sure? She said yes. This time St. Peter send her down by herself. When she knock on the door, Satan himself opened up took her hand and dragged her in. What she saw surprised her. All her friends were dressed in shabby dirty clothes and it was like the whole city had disappeared and there was fire everywhere. The people were picking something to eat from the garbage. She said - what happened here? Why are my friends dressed like that Last night everything was so beautiful - we had the best of everything. Satan - said, last night we were recruiting you. Today you are here for Eternity...

The moral of the story is that we have to be vigilant when the Devil offers us something! Ha-ha! Beautiful and very didactic story dear Lucy! A great lesson, thank you!

You are a good man. If God is on our side - who can be against us?

I have heard people say they would rather go to hell because their friends will be there. I hope their wish does not come true.

Hi Richard; I have heard that too. I think it is only talk. As for me - I try to do what is right and keep close to God.

A good story Lucy, I want to laugh if that is okay with you...LOL... No worries, the moral is a good one. I like the way you ended the story...... Oh my, imagine that... At least, every so often when recruiting the next person, she gets to put on nice things to party... :) tricky, tricky HUH! Love this...Linda

I'm fortunate to have realized awhile ago, that long term profit is always better than short term gain Lucilla. Although, I still do some reckless things from time to time. I really like how you depict the deception Lucilla. I won't forget this write. J.A.B.

Harry; Life on Earth can sometimes be hell, but we can fix that up. If we don't choose right at the end we will stay in hell for eternity.

Lucilla. this was a good way to teach the moral of that story. I heard the story where a woman sees everyone standing around drinking coffee while standing in manure. She is given another choice worse than that one, so she chooses standing in manure, even though it is hell. When she enters, the devil says: Ok, guys, break is over. Everybody back to standing on your heads!!!
