Matthew 10 ¹⁵Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town. ¹⁶Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

Children “in church”

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."

My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?"

I mentally polished my halo, while I asked, "No, how are we alike?"

"You're both old," he replied.

A ten-year old, under the tutelage of her grandmother, was becoming quite knowledgeable about the Bible.

Then, one day, she floored her grandmother by asking, "Which Virgin was the mother of Jesus? The virgin Mary or the King James Virgin?"

A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments.

They were ready to discuss the last one.

The teacher asked if anyone could tell her what it was.

Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, "Thou shall not take the covers off the neighbor's wife."

Who Changed The Rules

(Kent Heaton)

My good friend Paul corrected me recently on matters pertaining to the proper formatting of articles with the correct spacing and placement of the period at the end of sentences including references from the Bible. (He will probably write to me about the first sentence). It seems that there should only be one space between sentences now and that the period should not come in the sentence when quoting scripture until after the reference is given. So who changed the rules?

Mrs. Snapp would not be happy with Paul. She was my typing teacher from a very early age. I learned how to type (on a manual typewriter) through a summer course at an early age and then took typing under Mrs. Snapp in High School. We always put two spaces between sentences when typing and this thing about a period was always when the sentence ended, reference or no reference. For nearly forty years I typed in the manner taught me by the greatest typing teacher in the world and then a preacher comes along and tells me different. Who changed the rules?                       To be continued
