Hole-y Humor
Several children found a dead robin. Feeling that it deserved a proper burial, they found a small box and some cotton batting, dug a hole in the backyard, and made ready to dispose of the deceased. The minister’s 5-year-old son was chosen to say the prayer. And so, with great dignity, he intoned, “Glory be to the Father . . . and to the Son . . . and into the hole he goes.”
A Lot of Smiles . . .
The Sunday school teacher described with deep drama the fire and brimstone raining down on Sodom. She pictured Lot’s family fleeing the disaster and Lot’s wife looking back at the city she was fleeing, “Lot’s wife looked back . . . and turned into a pillar of salt!” she exclaimed.
Then Bobby interrupted. “My mommy looked back while she was driving,” he announced, “and she turned into a telephone pole.”

A father was reading Bible stories to Johnny. “The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city,” Daddy read, “but his wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt.”
Johnny looked up and asked, “But Daddy, what happened to the flea?”
This Child’s a Real Card . . .
A Sunday school teacher said to her children, “We have been learning about the powerful kings and queens of Biblical times. But there is a higher power. Who can tell me what it is?”
Tommy blurted out, “I know! I know! Aces.”
