Two
little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively
mischievous.
They are always getting into trouble
and their parents know 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.
The mother sent the 8 year old in
the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the
afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a deep 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. 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!" "GOD is missing, and they think
WE did it!"
