The parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew but were losing the battle.<BR/>Finally the father picked up the boy and walked sternly down the aisle on his way out. Just before reaching the safety of the foyer the boy called loudly to the congregation, "Pray for me!

John and Ma...Taken from A Bucket of Surprises by J. John and Mark Stibble<BR/><BR/>A couple had two little boys, aged eight and ten, who were excessively mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be assured that if any mischief occurred in their town their two young sons were in some way involved. The parents were at their wits end as to what to do about their sons' behaviour. <BR/><BR/>The mother had heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children in the past, so she asked her husband if her thought they should sent the boys to speak to the clergyman. The husband said, "We might as well. We need to do something before I really lose my temper!" The clergyman agreed to speak with the boys, but asked to see them individually.<BR/><BR/>The eight-year-old went to meet with him first. The clergyman say the boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"<BR/>The boy made no response, so the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?"<BR/>Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face, "WHERE IS GOD?"<BR/>At that the boy bolted from the room and ran straight home, slamming himself into the closet.<BR/>His older brother followed him into the closer and said, "What happened?"<BR/>The younger brother replied,"We are in BIG trouble this time. God is missing and they think we did it."S E Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353593578893195586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483426192416204879.post-55417037312847463922009-01-08T19:13:00.000-05:002009-01-08T19:13:00.000-05:00Glad it came at the right time for you.
