Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous.
They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about
it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably
involved.
The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been
successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with
her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So
the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy
to see the preacher in the afternoon.
The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the
younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?"
The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response,
sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.
So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner
tone, "Where is God?!"
Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher
raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face
and bellowed, "Where is God?!"
The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home &
dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.
When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked,
"What happened?" The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied,
"We are in BIG trouble this time.
( I just LOVE reading this next line again and again )
"GOD is missing, and they think we did it!"
