The preacher’s 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always paused and bowed his head for a m o m e n t b e f o r e starting his sermon. One day, sheasked him why. “Well, Honey,” he began, proud that his daughter was so observant of hismessages, “I’m asking the Lord to help me preach a good sermon.”

”How come Hedoesn’t do it?” she asked.

A rabbi said to a

precocious six-yearold

boy, “So your

mother says

your prayers

for you each

night? Very

commendable.

What does she

say?”

The little boy replied, “Thank God he’s in bed!”

Our son had only heard his grandfather pray at Thanksgiving, Easter, and other special occasions; when he, typically, said a long prayer over thefood.One night, after a fun camp-out and fishing trip, grandfather (to our son’s surprise) asked a very brief blessing on the food.With a gleam in his eye, our son grinned at his Grandfather and said, “You don’t pray so long when you’re hungry, do you Grandpa?”

***

During the minister’s prayer one Sunday there was a loud whistle from one of the back pews Gary’s mother was horrified. She pinched him into silence and, after church, asked, “Gary, whatever made you do such a thing?” Gary answered, soberly, “I asked

God to teach me to whistle ...

and He just then did!”

A pastor asked a little boy if

he said his prayers every

night.” Yes sir,” the boy

replied.”

And, do you always say

them in the morning, too?” the

pastor asked.

“No sir,” the boy replied. “I

ain’t scared in the daytime.”

My wife invited some

people to dinner. At the table,

she turned to our 6-year-old

daughter and said, “Would

you like to say the blessing?”

“I wouldn’t know what to

say,” she replied.

“Just say what you hear

Mommy say,” my wife said.

Our daughter bowed her

head and said, “Dear Lord,

why on earth did Iinvite all

these people to dinner?”

***

When my daughter, Kelli,

was 3, she and my son, Cody,

would say their nightly

prayers, together. As most

children do, we have to bless

every family member, every

friend, and every animal

(current and past).For several

weeks after we had finished

the nightly prayer Kelli would

say, “And all girls.”

As this soon became part of

her nightly routine, to include

this at the end, my curiosity

got the best of me and I asked

her, “Kelli, why do youalways

add the part about all girls?”

Her response, “Because we

always finish our prayers by

saying ‘All Men’!”

If

electricity

comes from

electrons,

does morality

come from morons?

Why are

you IN a

movie, but

you’re ON

TV?

does a round

pizza come in

a square

box?
