My Favorite Animal

6/5/2013

0 Comments

 
Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken." She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else laughed. 

My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. 

Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.

The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. 

I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again. I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am.

Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most. I told her, "Colonel Sanders." She asked me why?...
Guess where I am now...

Honesty is truly the best policy, even if others don’t like it. The opposite of honesty is dishonesty which involves lying. The bible is very clear about the seriousness of lying.

Ephesians 4:25 Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another. 

Revelation 21:7-8 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." 

May we always determine to “speak truth with our neighbor”.  Larry Pasley

Grace Under Pressure

6/3/2011

0 Comments

 
    Did you hear about the teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put his boots on? He asked for
help and she could see why. With her pulling and him pushing, the boots still didn't want to go on.
    When the second boot was on, she had worked up a sweat. She almost whimpered when the little boy said,
"Teacher, they're on the wrong feet." She looked and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on _ this time on the right feet. 
    He then announced, "These aren't my boots." 
    She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream, "Why didn't you say so?" like she wanted to. Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill_fitting boots off. 
    And then he said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear them."  She didn't know if she should laugh or cry. She mustered up the grace to wrestle the boots on his feet again. She said, "Now, where are your mittens?" 
    He said, "I stuffed them in the toes of my boots..."
