BIG TROUBLE

A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble, and their parents could be assured that if any mischief occurred in their town, their two young sons were in some way involved. The parents were at their wits' end as to what to do about their sons' behavior. Then the mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children in the past, so she asked her husband if he thought they should send the boys to speak with the preacher. The husband said, "We might as well. We need to do something before I really lose my temper!"

The preacher agreed to speak with the boys, but asked to see them individually. The 8-year-old went to meet with him first. The preacher sat the boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?" The boy made no response, so the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?" Again the boy made no attempt to answer, so the preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face, "WHERE IS GOD?" With that the boy bolted from the room and ran directly home, slamming his door and hiding himself in his closet.

His older brother followed him into the closet and said, "What happened?" The younger brother replied, "We are in B I G trouble this time. God is missing and they think we did it!"
