Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, were very naughty . They were always getting into trouble.If any mischief occurred in their town, the two boys were 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. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning.The older boy was to see the preacher in the afternoon.
The preacher, a huge man with a 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, just sat 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 bellowe, ‚Where is God?‘
The boy screamed and ran quickly from the room, ran directly home and dove into his wardrobe, slamming the door behind him.
When his older brother found him in the wardrobe , he asked, ‚What happened?‘
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied,’We are in BIG trouble this time,‘
(I just LOVE reading this next line again and again:)
‚GOD is missing, and they think we did it!‘
