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.
So 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!"
