Satan Gets a Bad Rap
A friend teaching the 7th grade Bible class at a Christian school told her students that Adam and Eve weren't the first ones who chose to sin. She asked her students, "Who was Satan before he fell?"

Savannah's hand shot up. "I know his name! He was Ludicrous!"

All Souped Up
When a friend asked her 4-year-old daughter to fetch a can of soup from the pantry, she replied, "But it's dark and scary in there!"

"You don't have to be afraid," came her mother's calm reply. "Jesus is always with you, even in the pantry."

The girl thought for a moment, walked over to the pantry, stuck her head in the door, and called, "Jesus, if you're in there, can you hand me a can of soup?"

Just Don't Call Me 'Pluto'
Our 6-year-old daughter went to Bible School at a sister church, and while telling us about it, she referred to the pastor by his first name.

I corrected her, saying she needed to call him Pastor Chris because he's a pastor just like Daddy, Pastor John, Pastor Mark, and Pastor Glen.

"Do you know what 'pastor' means?" I asked.

She considered the question and then said, very tentatively, "I'm not sure, but I think it means goofy."

Don't Think Any Less of Her
When we introduced our daughter to the pastor for the first time, he said, "Thank you for visiting, Danielle. I hope to see more of you soon."

Danielle looked puzzled and replied, "But this is all there is of me!"
