Josh's Ideas
Josh was sitting on my lap as I read him a bedtime story. From time to time, Josh would take his eyes off the book and reach up to touch my wrinkled cheek. He was alternately stroking his own cheek, then mine again.
Finally he spoke up, “Grandpa, did God make you?”
“Yes,” I answered, “God made me a long time ago.”
“Oh,” he paused, “Grandpa, did God make me too?”
“Yes, indeed,” I said, “God made you just a little while ago.”
Feeling our respective faces again, he observed, “God’s getting better at it, isn’t he?”
A father was at the beach with his children when his four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore, where a seagull lay dead in the sand.
“Daddy, what happened to him?” the son asked.
“He died and went to Heaven,” the dad replied.
The boy thought a moment and then said, “Did God throw him back down?”
