THE STORY OF ELIJAH

The Sunday school teacher was carefully explaining the story of Elijah
the Prophet and the false prophets of Baal.

She explained how Elijah built the altar, put wood upon it, cut the
steer in pieces, and laid it upon the altar. And then, Elijah
commanded the people of God to fill four barrels of water and pour it
over the altar. He had them do this four times.

"Now," said the teacher, "can anyone in the class tell me why the Lord
would have Elijah pour water over the steer on the altar?"

A little girl in the back of the room started waving her hand, "I
know! I know!" she said, "To make the gravy!"

LOT'S WIFE

The Sunday school teacher was describing how Lot's wife looked back
and turned into a pillar of salt, when little Jason interrupted, "My
Mummy looked back once, while she was driving," he announced
triumphantly, "and she turned into a telephone pole!"

HIGHER POWER

A Sunday school teacher said to her children, "We have been learning
how powerful kings and queens were in Bible times. But, there is a
higher power. Can anybody tell me what it is?"

One child blurted out, "Aces!"

MOSES AND THE RED SEA

Nine-year-old Joey, was asked by his mother what he had learned in
Sunday school.

"Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines
on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When he got
to the Red Sea, he had his army build a pontoon bridge and all the
people walked across safely. Then, he radioed headquarters for
reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge and all the
Israelites were saved."

"Now, Joey, is that really what your teacher taught you?" his mother
asked.

"Well, no, Mom. But, if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd never
believe it!"

BEWARE OF TRASH

One particular four-year old prayed, "And forgive us our 'trash
baskets' as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
