Putting All the Pieces Together
A father was taking a break from his studies to read a magazine. Just as he began to read, his little girl wanted to know what the United States looked like.

So, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of their country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to her, and said, "Go into the other room and see if you can put this together...This will show you our whole country."

After a few minutes, she returned and handed him the map correctly fitted together. The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly.

"Oh", she said, "on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got all of Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came together."

The Sin of Lying
A minister told his congregation, "Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17."

The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the minister asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17. Every hand went up.

The minister smiled and said, "Mark has only sixteen chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying."

The Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot's wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt, when little Johnny interrupted,

"My Mummy looked back once, while she was DRIVING," he announced
triumphantly, "and she turned into a telephone pole!"
