Where is God?
A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were
excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble, and their
parents knew that if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons were
probably involved. The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been
successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her
boys. The clergyman agreed, but asked to see them individually. So the mother
sent her 8-year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman
in the afternoon. The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the
younger boy down and asked him sternly. "Where is God?" The boy's
mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth
hanging open, wide-eyed. So the clergyman repeated the question in an even
sterner tone, "Where is God!!?" Again, the boy made no attempt to
answer. So, the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in
the boy's face and bellowed, WHERE IS GOD! The boy screamed and bolted from the
room, ran directly home and 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 air, replied, "We are in
BIG trouble this time, dude. God is missing, and they think WE did it!!"
