A couple was arranging for their wedding, and asked the bakery to inscribe the wedding cake with "1 John 4:18" which reads "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear."

A five-year old boy had never spoken a single word.
One afternoon, as he sat eating his lunch he turned to his mother and said, "Soup's cold."

The boy looked at her and replied, "Until now, everything's been great."

A few minutes later my friend called back and asked, "How badly did he play?"
