Sunday School

I was testing the children in my Sunday school class
to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven.


I asked them, "If I sold my house and my car,
had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church,

Would that get me into Heaven?"

"NO!" the children answered.


"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard,
and kept everything neat and tidy,
would that get me into Heaven?"

Again, the answer was, "NO!"

By now I was starting to smile.

Hey, this was fun!

"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy
to all the children, and loved my husband,
would that get me into Heaven?"
I asked them again.

Again, they all answered, "NO!"


I was just bursting with pride for them.
"Well," I continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?"

A five-year-old boy shouted out,

"YOU GOTTA BE DEAD."
