A little Christian humor ... biggrin
Children on Religion

3-year-old, Reese: "Our Father, Who does art in heaven,
Harold is His name." " Amen"
---------------------------------------------------
A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make
me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am."
----------------------------------------------------
A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments.
They were ready to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if
anyone could tell her what it was. Susie raised her hand, stood
tall, and quoted, "Thou shall not take the covers off the neighbor's wife."
-----------------------------------------------------
After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed
all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him
three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, "That preacher
said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I wanted to
stay with you guys."
-------------------------------------------------------
I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, Caitlin, the Lord's
Prayer for several evenings at bedtime, she would repeat after me
the lines from the prayer. Finally, she decided to go solo. I listened
with pride as she carefully enunciated each word, right up to the end
of the prayer: "Lead us not into temptation," she prayed, "but deliver
us some E-mail. Amen."
-------------------------------------------------------------
and one particular four-year-old prayed, "And forgive us our trash
baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
-----------------------------------------------------------
A Sunday school teacher asked her children, as they were on the
way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"
One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."
------------------------------------------------------------
Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother Joel were sitting
together in church. Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud. Finally,
his big sister had had enough. "You're not supposed to talk out loud
in church." "Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked. Angie
pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men
standing by the door? They're hushers."
----------------------------------------------------------
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5, Ryan, 3.
The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake.
Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. "If Jesus were
sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake, I
can wait.'" Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, "Ryan,
you be Jesus!"
----------------------------------------------------------
A father was at the beach with his children when the four-year-old
son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore,
where a seagull lay dead in the sand. "Daddy, what happened to
him?" the son asked. "He died and went to Heaven," the Dad
replied. The boy thought a moment and then said, "Did God throw
him back down?"
------------------------------------------------------------
A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to
their six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the
blessing?" "I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied. "Just
say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered. The daughter
bowed her head and said, "Lord, why on earth did I invite all these
people to dinner?"
:p

"Our Father who art in Heaven, how do you know my name?"

Same child, during the prayer of the Saints,

Priest: "St. Anthony"
Child: "Hooray for us"

Priest: "St....

Child: "Hooray for us"

on and on and on....

God's real name is "Andy": Like the song says: "Andy walked with me, Andy talked with me, Andy told me I am His own".

Andy's foolish old monk, Silouan

When my son was learning the Our Father he started out saying "Give us this day our daily bread and give us our guest passes"

I love the idea of getting a guest pass!
