Telling the truth
Once when a certain
preacher launched into a children’s sermon, she was confronted by a visiting
child, an eight-year-old friend of a regular member. The boy was new to this
church, but was a regular attendee at another congregation that did not have
children’s sermons. Nevertheless, the visitor tried his best to follow the line
of the preacher’s effort to connect with the children. Attempting to hook the
children with something familiar before making her point, the priest asked the
children to identify what she would describe. “What is fuzzy and has a long
tail?” No response. “What has big teeth and climbs in trees?” Still no
response. After she asked, “What jumps around a lot and gathers nuts and hides
them?” the visiting boy could stand the silence no longer. He blurted out,
“Look, lady, I know the answer is supposed to be ‘Jesus,’ but it sure sounds
like a squirrel to me.”
