A teacher died and went to Heaven. St. Peter welcomed her in and
said he would show her to her mansion. The first neighborhood was
lovely.
People were out on park lawns, socializing, grilling, and playing
golf on a beautiful course. Everyone was having a great time. The
teacher asked if this was her neighborhood, but St. Peter said it
was just for doctors.
They walked on and the teacher saw another
neighborhood that was just as beautiful...huge mansions, beautiful
grounds, swimming pool, and a golf course. People were having a
great time. Again she inquired if this was her neighborhood, but St.
Peter said it was for dentists.
On through the clouds they walked-approaching another neighborhood. It
too was beautiful with new mansions, parks, pools, etc. St. Peter told
the teacher this was her new home in Heaven. The teacher was thrilled
except she noticed that no one was around and the mansions seemed to be
empty.
She asked St. Peter where everyone was. Didn't many teachers make
it to Heaven?
St. Peter announced that yes, there were lots of teachers in Heaven
and they would all return tomorrow. They were in Hell attending a
staff development day.
