Ticket to heaven!

  • A little set up: Tyler and I were strolling along in downtown Hot Springs, minding our own business when we were approached with a ticket to HEAVEN by to very sweet girls, Kaitlyn and Bethany.
  • Kaitlyn: Hi! Do either of you have a home church?
  • (Tyler and I look at each other...)
  • Tyler: No, not really.
  • Kaitlyn: Oh, well I've got this ticket right here that will get you into heaven! Are you from Hot Springs? Have you accepted Jesus into your heart?
  • Tyler and I: ....
  • Kaitlyn: You're welcome to join us at our church tonight at 5:30. Little Rock isn't too far away! It's the best gift to recieve but you have to believe with your heart and your mind. It's different. We are all sinners except Jesus. He is perfect and without sin. He died for all of our sins.
  • Tyler: Oh, yeah, this one (pointing to me) is a big sinner. She steals! We call her Sticky Fingers.
  • Kaitlyn: (laughs) Well, it's a gift but what if someone were to give you a gift but make you pay them a bunch of money or clean their room (wtf is what I was thinking here...) Would it still be a gift?
  • Tyler and I: (......)
  • Kaitlyn: (reads the remaining parts of this so-called ticket to heaven. I don't know what they all said because I was kind of annoyed about how long her whole list was taking but I do know there were 4 or 5 points because they were numbered)
  • Kaitlyn: Would you both like to accept Jesus into your heart today?
  • Tyler: Oh, um, well, we'll have to do some a little research before we decide.
  • Both of us: Thank you!
  • Kaitlyn: Well, okay, what are your names (I almost told her Mary then Tyler made it funny and said he would've said Joseph if I had said Mary)? I'll pray for you.
  • Notice our new friend Bethany has said nothing and never did. Hah.
  • Now, I am not against any religions actually but approaching me for your sermon when I obviously did not come looking is kind of annoying, guys. Please, just stop. I'm happy going to hell if that's what you want to believe. Actually, as far as what you think about me, just leave me out of it and go on judging someone else by your made up standards. K? Thanks!
