*************
A one-, ten- and twenty-dollar bill were talking to each other. The one asked the twenty what kind of life he had. The twenty replied he had a pretty good life, as he spent a lot of time in nice restaurants and shopping malls. The one asked the ten the same question. He said he didn't frequent places quite as fancy as the twenty, but he also had a good life.
Then the ten and twenty asked the one about his life. "I never get to go anywhere," the one answered. "I spend all of my time in the collection plate at church."
BEING THANKFUL
A rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy, "So your mother says your prayers for you each night? Very commendable. What does she say?"
The little boy replied, "Thank God he's in bed!"
EXPRESS PRAYER
Our son had only heard his grandfather pray at Thanksgiving, Easter, and other special occasions; when he, typically said a long prayer over the food. One night after a fun campout and fishing trip, grandfather (to our son's surprise) asked a very brief blessing on the food. With a gleam in his eye, our son grinned at his grandfather and said, "You don't pray so long when you're hungry, do you, Grandpa?"
ALL MEN/ALL GIRLS?
When my daughter, Kelli, was 3, she and my son, Cody, would say their nightly prayers together. As most children do, we have to bless every family member, every friend, and every animal (current and past).
For several weeks, after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli would say, "And all girls."
As this soon became part of her nightly routine, to include this at the end, my curiosity got the best of me and I asked her, "Kelli, why do you always add the part about all girls?"
Her response, "Because we always finish our prayers by saying 'All Men'!"
KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup to come out of the bottle. During her struggle
the phone rang, so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. "It's the minister,
Mommy," the child said to her mother. Then she added to the caller, "Mommy can't come to the
phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle."

ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my
4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. The various appliances of old age, particularly
the canes, walkers and wheelchairs, unfailingly intrigued her. One day I found her staring at a
pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions,
she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"

A 6-year-old was overheard reciting the Lord's Prayer at a church service:
"And forgive us our trash passes, as we forgive those who passed trash against us."

A boy was watching his father, a pastor, write a sermon. "How do you know what to say?"
he asked. "Why, God tells me." "Oh, then why do you keep crossing things out?"

A little girl became restless as the preacher's sermon dragged on and on. Finally,
she leaned over to her mother and whispered, "Mommy, if we give him the money now,
will he let us go?"

After the christening of his baby brother in church, little Johnny sobbed all the
way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong.
Finally, Johnny replied, "That priest said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home,
and I want to stay with you guys!"

Terri asked her Sunday School class to draw pictures of their favorite Bible stories.
She was puzzled by Kyle's picture, which showed four people on an airplane, so she asked
him which story it was meant to represent. The Flight to Egypt, was his reply. Pointing
at each figure, Ms. Terri said, "That must be Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus. But who's
the fourth person?" "Oh, that's Pontius - the pilot.

BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages.
Suddenly something fell out of the book. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw
was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found," the boy
called out.
"What have you got there, dear?"
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear!"

A college drama group presented a play in which one character would stand on a trap door
and announce, "I descend into hell!" A stagehand below would then pull a rope, the
trapdoor would spring, and the actor would drop from view. The play was well received.
When the actor playing the part became ill, another actor who was quite overweight took
his place. When the new actor announced, "I descend into hell!"
the stagehand pulled the rope, and the actor began his plunge, but became hopelessly stuck.
No amount of tugging on the rope could make him descend. One student in the balcony
jumped up and yelled: "Hallelujah! Hell is full!"

Pastor Dave Charlton tells us, "After a worship service at First Baptist Church in
Newcastle, Kentucky, a mother with a fidgety seven-year old boy told me how she finally
got her son to sit still and be quiet. About halfway through the sermon, she leaned
over and whispered, 'If you don't be quiet, Pastor Charlton is going to lose his place
and will have to start his sermon all over again!' It worked."

This is the best one ... A little girl was sitting on her grandfather's lap as he
read her a bedtime story. From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book
and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek. She was alternately stroking her own cheek,
then his again. Finally she spoke up, "Grandpa, did God make you?" "Yes, sweetheart,"
he answered, "God made me a long time ago." "Oh," she paused, "Grandpa, did God make
me too?" "Yes, indeed, honey," he said, "God made you just a little while ago."
Feeling their respective faces again, she observed, "God's getting better at it, isn't he?"
