A child was told to write a book report on the entire Bible.

 

Through the eyes of a child here is The Children's Bible in a Nutshell.

 

In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas.

The Bible says, 'The Lord thy God is one, But I think He must be a lot older than that.

Anyway, God Said, 'Give me A light!' and someone did. Then God made the world.

 

He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet.

 

Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden. Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars.

Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother, as long as he was Abel.

Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.

 

One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but, one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family, and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check.

 

After Noah then came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph, who wore a really loud sports coat.

 

Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt, and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people.

These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable.

God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti.

 

Then he gave them His top Ten Commandments.

These include don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's stuff. Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy Father and thy mother.

 

One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua, who was the first Bible Guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol, and the fence fell over on The town.

 

After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a Slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 Porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't sound very wise to me.

 

After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of these Was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale, and then barfed up on the shore. There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them... 

 

After the Old Testament came the New Testament.

Jesus is the Star of the New Testament.

He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I Had been Born in a barn, too, because my mom is always saying to me, 'Close the Door! Were you born in a barn?' It would be nice to say yes.) During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Democrats.

 

Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him.

 

Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards, and even preached to some Germans on the Mount.

But the Democrats and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.

Any way's, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to Heaven, but will be back at the end of time . His return is foretold in the book of Revolution..

Aluminum!

Shirley Goodnest

 

A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe.

So she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to sc hool in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her.

She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.

The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for the whole week.

As the two walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week. Finally she said to Timmy, 'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week?

Do you know her?'
Timmy nonchalantly replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.'
The little girl said, 'Well, who is she?'
'That's just Shirley Goodnest,' Timmy replied, 'and her daughter Marcy.'

'Shirley Goodnest? Who the heck is she and why is she following us? 
'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much.
And in the Psalm, it says, 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow
me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!'

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift His countenance upon you,and give you peace.

May Shirley Goodnest and Marcy be with you today and always.

A New Pastor
 

A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners.  At one house
it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his
repeated knocks at the door.

Therefore, he took out a business card and wrote 'Revelation 3:20' on the
back of it and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his
card had been returned.  Added to it was this cryptic message, 'Genesis
3:10....'

Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of
laughter.  Revelation 3:20 begins 'Behold, I stand at the door and knock.'
Genesis 3:10 reads, 'I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid
for I was naked.'
