Three little boys were bragging about how tough they were."I'm so tough", said the first boy, "that I can wear out a pair of shoes in a week."
"Well", said the second little boy, "I'm so tough, I can wear out a pair of jeans in a day."
"That's nothing", said the third boy. "When my parents take me to see my grandma and grandpa, I can wear them out in a hour."
"Lord, please do us a massive favor. Make sin appear utterly ugly and exceedingly sinful to us."
- Bob Sorge
A man and his ten-year-old son were on a fishing trip miles from home. At the boy's insistence, they decided to attend the Sunday worship service at a small rural church. The father forgot to bring any cash, so he reached in his pocket and gave his son a dime to drop in the offering plate as it was passed.
As they walked back to their car after the service, the father complained. "The service was too long," he lamented. "The sermon was boring, and the singing was off key."
Finally the boy said, "Daddy, I thought it was pretty good for a dime."
"If being hurt by church causes you to lose faith in God, then your faith was in people not in God."
