I thought that we could all benefit from "seeing" through the eyes of a
child:

1. A little girl became restless as the preacher's sermon seemed to go
on and on. In exasperation, she turned to her mom and whispered, "If we
give him the money now, will he let us go?"

2. "Dad" a little boy asked, "When you were a little boy did you go to
Sunday School every week?"
     "I sure did, Son!"
     "Bet it won't do me any good, either."

3. A new interpretation of John 3:16 ......  For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him shall
shall not perish,but have ever laughing life. (Not that far off track,
is it?)

4.      A little boy announced to his mom one Sunday,"Mom, I have
decided to be a preacher when I grow up.      "
        "That's okay with us, but what made you decided to be a
minister?"
        "Well, I figure that I have to go to church anyway and I would
rather stand up there and yell than sit still and listen."

5. Three little boys were bragging about their fathers.
    "My dad owns a farm!"
    "My dad owns a factory!"
    "My dad owns hell!"(Pastor's son)
    "No Way!!! No one can own hell!"
    "YEAH!! No Way!!!"
     "Sure he can. My dad told my grandma that the elders gave it to him
last night!!"

6.  An elderly pastor visited a school on a regular basis. He went into
one class where they were studying the states. When he asked them to
name them, they could only come up with 40 names.
"When I was a kid, I knew the name of all of the states!" he boasted.
"Yes, but in those days, weren't there only 13?"

7. A little boy went out to have dinner at an elderly gentleman's house.
The old man bowed his head and spoke in a very soft voice.   "Mom",
whispered the little boy, "what did Mr. Jones say to his plate?
