Where is God?

A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be assured that if any mischief occurred in their town their two young sons were in some way involved.

The parents were at their wits end as to what to do about their sons' behavior. The mother had heard that a pastor in town had been successful in disciplining children in the past, so she asked her husband if he thought they should send the boys to speak him.

The husband said, 'We might as well. We need to do something before I really lose my temper!' The pastor agreed to speak with the boys, but asked to see them individually. The 8 year old went to meet with him first. The clergyman sat the boy down and asked him sternly, 'Where is God?'

The boy made no response, so the pastor repeated the question in an even sterner tone, 'Where is God?' Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice even more and pointed at different places around the room, 'WHERE IS GOD?'

At that the boy bolted from the room and ran straight home, shutting himself in the closet. His older brother followed him into the closet and asked what had happened. The younger brother replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time! God is missing and they think we did it!"

'Ologists

“A long time ago, there were people who would go out into the woods specifically to find new and strange plants and animals. These people were referred to as 'ologists, such as Zoologists, who study animals.

When these people found something new, never discovered before, it was up to them to give it a name.

One day, one of the 'ologists discovered an animal that looked like a yellow cat with spots, but was four times the size that of the common dog. It was noticed that this animal was very fast and could jump over large obstacles in a single bound. Therefore, it was named the leap-hard, today called the Leopard.

The leap-hard was chasing some prey he planned to make his dinner, when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he was passed by another cat doing 70 miles per hour! The leap-hard stopped in his tracks, looked around him, and said, "Cheater"!

And the 'ologist then named the cat, the Cheetah!”

Easter

• 90 million chocolate Easter bunnies are made for Easter each year.

• According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest Easter egg ever made was just over 25-ft high and made of chocolate and marshmallow. The egg weighed 8,968 lbs. and was supported by an internal steel frame.

• Each day, five million marshmallow chicks and bunnies are produced in preparation for Easter.

• 6 billion jelly beans are made for Easter (that's enough to completely fill an 89 feet high and 60 feet wide plastic Easter egg about the height of a nine-story office building!)

• The world's largest jar of jelly beans weighed 6,050 pounds.
  
  
• In medieval times, a festival of ‘egg-throwing’ was held in church. The priest would throw a hard-boiled egg to one of the choir boys, and then it was tossed from one choir boy to the next. When the clock struck 12, whoever held the egg, was the winner and got to keep the egg.
