Out Of The Mouths Of Babes...

This snippet from Orthometer is another priceless little gem:

I was testing the children in my Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven. I asked them, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into Heaven?" "NO!" the children answered.

"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?" Again, the answer was, "NO!" By now I was starting to smile.

Hey, this was fun! "Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get me into Heaven?" I asked them again. Again, they all answered, "NO!" I was just bursting with pride for them.

"Well," I continued, "Then how can I get into Heaven?" A five-year-old boy shouted out, "YOU GOTTA BE DEAD."

Kids, gotta love 'em.
