"Alphabet"
A grandfather was walking past his young
granddaughter's room one night when he saw
her kneeling beside her bed, with head bowed
and hands folded, repeating the alphabet.
"What are you doing?" he asked her.
She explained, "I'm saying my prayers, but I
couldn't think of just what I wanted to say.
So I'm just saying all the letters of the alphabet,
and G~d can put them together however he
thinks best."

"There are several good protections against temptation,
but the surest is cowardice."

"Jonah"
A Sunday School teacher read a passage from
the Old Testament book of Jonah to her class:
"And the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow
up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish
three days and three nights. Then Jonah prayed
to the Lord his G~d from the belly of the fish,
saying 'I called to the Lord our of my distress and
He answered me.' ... and the Lord spoke to the
fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land."
(Jonah 1:17 -- 2:2, 10)
When she had finished reading, the teacher said,
"Now, children, you have heard the Bible story of
Jonah and the whale. What does this story teach
us?"
Ten-year-old Mark shouted out: "You can't keep
a good man down!"
