Where is God?
A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessivelymischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents couldbe assured that if any mischief occurred in their town their two young sonswere in some way involved.
The parents were at their wits end as to what to do about their sons' behavior.The mother had heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in discipliningchildren in the past, so she asked her husband if he thought they shouldsend the boys to speak with the clergyman.
The husband said, "We might as well. We need to do something before I reallylose my temper!"
The clergyman agreed to speak with the boys, but asked to see them individually.The 8-year-old went to meet with him first. The clergyman sat the boy downand asked him sternly, "Where is God?" The boy made no response, so the clergymanrepeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?" Again theboy made no attempt to answer, so the clergyman raised his voice even moreand shook his finger in the boy's face, "WHERE IS GOD?" At that the boy boltedfrom the room and ran directly home, slamming himself in his closet.
His older brother followed him into the closet and said, "What happened?"
The younger brother replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time. God is missingand they think we did it!"
