Basketball in Heaven???

michael and covey are two great friends. both of them grew up in the same neighborhood and enjoys the same passion for the game basketball. everyday, after they are both done with their school work, michael and covey would come to the park, feed the birds and play their favorite game of basketball. years passed by, michael and covey remained great friends and never grew tired of playing and eventually became two great players. one day, while they are on the park, michael asked covey, "friend, do you think there's basketball in heaven?". "i have no idea, michael.. i wish there is though", answers covey. "tell you what, if i die first, i'd tell you about it. but if you go first, do tell me about it, too!", suggested michael. "that's a great idea michael! i definitely agree to that!", says covey.

days passed and michael died... from heaven, michael saw covey at the park. while covey feeds the birds, he heard a voice.. "covey... covey...". "is that you, michael?", asked covey. "yes, it's me covey, your friend michael", says the voice. "great! how are you michael?? are you OK?? so, did you find out if there's basketball in heaven?", asked covey. michael answred, "well, i have good news and bad news, covey. the good news is, yes there's basketball in heaven. the bad news is, you have game tomorrow".

this is the story included in the homily of Fr. Eugene, a Filipino priest in St. Joseph's Church . aside from the great feeling i get in hearing mass, i also look forward into Fr. Eugene's stories which makes me laugh. actually, he looks so serious... but then, i think he has a great sense of humor as well. my hubby and i, attended the Tagalog Friday Mass. we went to Abela Supermarket afterwards to buy some pork. cooked BBQ-seasoned pork and sauteed some veggies for lunch. my hubby liked my cooking but complained it's causing him to have highblood pressure. naku! kahit naman walang pork, highblood siya lagi eh! hehe.
