Do You Know Where God Is?


Two little boys, aged 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They always get into trouble and their parents know all about it. Any mischief in the town and the people know that the two boys are probably involved.

One day the boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, made the boy sit and asked him sternly,

"Do you know where God is, son?"

The boy's mouth dropped open, but he didn't answer, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone,

"Where is God?!"

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed,

"WHERE IS GOD?!"

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied,

"We are in really BIG trouble this time."

"GOD is missing, and they think we did it!"
