WHERE IS GOD?

[Guest guest]

A couple had two little boys, ages eight and ten, who were excessively

mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents

could be confident that if any mischief occurred in their town,their two

young sons were involved in some capacity. The parents were at their wit's

end as to what to do about their sons' behaviour.

 

The parents had heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in

disciplining children in the past, so they contacted him, and he agreed to

give it his best shot. Hee asked to see the boys individually, so the

eight-year-old was sent to meet him. The clergyman made him sit down and

asked sternly, "Where is God?" The boy made no response, so the clergyman

repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?" Again the boy

made no attempt to answer, so the clergyman raised his voice even more and

shook his finger in the boy's face, "WHERE IS GOD?" At that, the boy ran

directly home, and slammed himself in his closet. His older brother followed

him into the closet and asked, "What happened?" The younger brother replied,

"We are in big trouble this time. God is missing and they think we did it!"
