So the mother >sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy 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, sitting 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 preach er 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 breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble >this time," > > >GOD is missing, and they think we did it!
