Today is Friday, November 7th, 2003; Karen's Korner #170

Most of us who have email, receive a variety of pass around notes. Here is a cute short one, passed along by Gene Ballantine:

 

After a hardy Oklahoma rainstorm filled all the potholes in the back
alley, a young mother watched her two little boys playing in a water puddle
through her kitchen window.

 

The older of the two, a five year old lad, grabbed his sibling by the back of the head

and shoved his face into the water hole.

 

As the younger boy recovered and stood laughing and dripping, the mother ran to

the back yard in a panic. "Why on Earth did you do that to your little brother?"

she inquired as she shook the older boy in anger.

 

"We were just playing 'church', Mommy" He said. "I was baptizing him like the preacher
did in church yesterday. I said, 'I now baptize you in the name of the Father, the
Son, and in-the-hole-he-goes!'"

Dear Father in Heaven, Help each of us to be like that little boy. We might not know

the whole story and there might be some things we don't understand. But help us to act on

what we do know and believe, even if we make some mistakes from our limited perspectives.

Thank you that you are our Heavenly Father. Amen.
