could, but your boy didn't make it."  Sally said, "Why do little

My Attorney

-- Author Unknown

After living what I felt was a "decent" life, my time on earth
came to the end. The first thing I remember is sitting on a
bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a court
house. The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and
have a seat by the defense table. As I looked around I saw

gent who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the
most evil person I have ever seen.

Love Always, Jesus

I'm nobody special. I don't have anything to offer."

Explain God

Child reading Christian Bible Stories

When given a third-grade homework assignment to "EXPLAIN GOD," this is what 8-year-old, Danny Dutton, of Chula Vista, CA, had to say.

By Danny Dutton

One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn't make grown-ups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way He doesn't have to take up His valuable time teaching them to talk and walk. He can just leave that to mothers and fathers.
