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?" A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it.  I'm having a real good time like I am." The preacher was wired for sound with a lapel microphone, and as he preached, he moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike cord as he went.  Then he moved to one side, getting would up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again.  After sever circles and jerks, a little girl in the third pew leaned toward her mother and whispered, "If he gets loose, will he hurt us?" Six-year old Angie and her four-year old brother Joel were sitting together in church...Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud.  Finally, his big sister had had enough.  "You're not supposed to talk out loud in church."  "Why?  Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked.  Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the door?  They're hushers." A father was at the beach with his children when the four-year old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore, where a seagull lay dead in the sand.  "Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked.  "He died and went to heaven," the dad replied.  They boy thought a moment and then said, "Did God throw him back down?" After the dedication 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, the boy replied, "That pastor said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I want to stay with you guys!" The Sunday school teacher asks, "Now, Johnny, do you say prayers before eating?"  "No sir," little Johnny replies, "I don't have to.  My Mom is a good cook. 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." ~ Author Unknown ~ Thanks, Vonda, for sharing these delightful vignettes.
