-After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason
sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His
father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy 
replied, "That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home,
and I wanted to stay with you guys."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, Caitlin, the
Lord's Prayer for several evenings at bedtime, she would
repeat after me the lines from the prayer. Finally, she decided to go
solo. I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word,
right up to the end of the prayer: "Lead us not into temptation," she prayed, "but deliver us some E-mail. Amen."

-.and one particular four-year-old prayed, "And forgive us
our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

-A Sunday school teacher asked her children, as they were on
the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in
church?" One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."

-Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother Joel were
sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud.
Finally, his big sister had had enough. "You're not supposed
to talk out loud in church." "Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel
asked. Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those
two men standing by the door? They're hushers."

-A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5,Ryan,
3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first
pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. "If

-A father was at the beach with his children when the
four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the
shore, where a seagull lay dead in the sand. "Daddy, what happened to
him", the son asked. "He died and went to Heaven," the Dad replied. The
boy thought a moment and then said, "Did God throw him back down?"

-A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?" "I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied. "Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered. The daughter bowed her head and said, "Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?
