A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with
fascination, and looked
at the old pages as he turned them. Suddenly, something
fell out of the Bible,
and he picked it up and looked at it closely. It was
an old leaf from a tree
that had been pressed in between the pages. “Momma,
look what I found,”
the boy called out. “What have you got there, dear?”
his mother asked. With
astonishment in the young boy’s voice, he answered:
“I think it’s Adam’s
suit.”

The preacher was wired for sound with a lapel mike,
and as he preached,
he moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike
cord as he went. Then
he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord
and nearly tripping
before jerking it again. After several circles and
jerks, a little girl in the third
pew leaned toward her mother and whispered, “ If he
gets loose, will he
hurt us?”

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

“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.”

My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, “Grandma,
do you know
how you and God are alike?” I mentally polished my
halo while I asked. “No,
how are we alike?” “Your both old, “ he replied.

They were
ready to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if
