Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, were excessively
mischievous. They were always getting into trouble
and their parents knew all about it. If any mischief
occurred in their town, the two boys were probably
involved.
The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had
been successful in disciplining children, so she
asked if he would speak with her boys.
The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them
individually. 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
preacher 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!"
