A true Story from an Irish Sunday School Teacher
I was testing children in my Dublin 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 garden, and kept
everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?" Again, the answer
was NO!
"If I gave sweets to all the children, and loved my husband, would
that get me into heaven?" Again, they all answered NO!
I was just bursting with pride for them. I continued, "Then how can I
get into heaven?"
A little boy shouted out, "YUV GOTTA BE FOOKN' DEAD."
It's a curious race, the Irish. Brings a tear to the eye, doesn't it?
