Say thannks to Bed for these wonderful little tales. ht6tp://diddilydeedot.zoomshare.com/

 Not everything about Sunday Tales has to be serious,
These were put together by Ben Witherington;

The Wisdom of Children in Sunday School 



- Or Fractured Bible Tales

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!!"



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!"


A  Sunday school teacher was telling her class the
story of the Good Samaritan, in which a man was beaten, robbed and left
for dead. She described the situation in vivid detail so her students
would catch the drama. Then, she asked the class, "If you saw a person
lying on the
roadside, all wounded and  bleeding, what would you do?"  A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed  silence, "I think I'd throw up."




A  Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing  when he was on the Ark?" "No", replied little David, 'cause he only had two worms!"


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!"

There  was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her  brother  in another part of the country "Is there anything breakable in here?" asked  the postal clerk. "Only the Ten Commandments," answered the lady.



BUMPER STICKER SEEN ON AMISH BUGGY
While  driving in west Pennsylvania , a  family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously  had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand  printed sign....
"Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass.   Caution: Do not step in exhaust."



Sunday  after church, a Mother asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about.  The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt." Needless to  say, the Mum was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea  and the Mother asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about.  He  said "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming."

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,
Mum. But, if I  told it the way the teacher did, you'd  never believe it!"




A  Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the  most quoted passages in the Bible; Psalm 23.

She gave the youngsters a month  to learn the verse. Little Rick excited about the task -- but, he just  couldn't remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past  the first line.  On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23  in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he  stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, "The Lord is my Shepherd, and  that's all I need to know."
