The youth director had been trying for months to get the little boy down the street to come to church to be with his third grade Sunday school class.
Finally after talking to the boy and his mother for what seemed to be the hundredth time the boy finally agreed to go this next Sunday, which he did and seemed to enjoy all of the proceedings except as the baptismal service began he ran out the back door and ran all the way home.
His mother asked him why he ran home instead of riding with the youth minister.
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8-year-olds: "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
"Grace is opposed to earning, but not to effort."
"The amount of good things in your life depends on your ability to notice them."
After the revival had concluded, the three pastors were discussing the results with one another.
