The next day the girl comes to her mom and says \u201cMommy I\u2019ve got 20 dollars!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI told you not to trust that boy!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo mom I tricked him, I didn\u2019t even wear pan ties today!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jimmy and Matty, ages 8 and 4, were excessively mischievous.<\/h2>\n

They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew if any mischief occurred in their town, the two boys were probably involved.<\/p>\n

The boys\u2019 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. The mother sent Matty in the morning, and planned to send Jimmy to see the preacher in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly,\u00a0\u201cDo you know where God is, son?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The boy\u2019s 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,\u00a0\u201cWhere is God?!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, Matty made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy\u2019s face and bellowed,\u00a0\u201cWhere is God?!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, \u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n

Matty, gasping for breath, replied,\u00a0\u201cWe are in BIG trouble this time! GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
