My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do
you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my
halo while I asked, "No, how are we alike?" "You're both old,"
he replied.
A ten-year old, under the tutelage of her grandmother, was
becoming quite knowledgeable about the Bible. Then one day she
floored her grandmother by asking, "Which Virgin was the
mother of Jesus? The virgin Mary or the King James Virgin?"
A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They
were ready to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if
anyone could tell her what it was. Susie raised her hand,
stood tall, and quoted, "Thou shall not take the covers off
the neighbor's wife."
I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, Caitlin, the
Lord's Prayer. For several evenings at bedtime, she would
repeat after me the lines from the prayer. Finally, she
decided to go solo. I listened with pride as she carefully
enunciated each word, right up to the end of the prayer= "Lead
us not into temptation," she prayed, "but deliver us some
E-mail. Amen."
