They are always getting into trouble and their parents know
all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town,
the two boys are probably involved.
The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had
been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if
he would speak with her boys.
The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually.
So the mother sent the 8 year old first,
in the morning, with the older boy
to see the preacher in the afternoon.
The preacher, a huge man with a booming
voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly,
"Do you knowwhere God is, son?"
The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response,
sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.
So the preacher repeated the question in an
even sterner tone, "Where is God?!"
Again, the boy made no attempt to answer.
The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger
in the boy's face and bellowed, "Where is God?!"
The boy screamed & bolted from the room,
ran directly home & dove into
his closet, slamming the door behind him.
When his older brother found him in the closet,
he asked, "what happened?"
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied,
"We are in BIG trouble this time.
"GOD is missing, and they think we did it!"
