[SIZE=16pt]Children were quizzed during their Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=16pt]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?' [/SIZE]
[SIZE=16pt]"No!" the children answered. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=16pt]"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the garden, and kept everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?" [/SIZE]
[SIZE=16pt]Again, the answer was "No!" [/SIZE]
[SIZE=16pt]"If I gave sweets to all the children, and loved my wife, would that get me into heaven?" [/SIZE]
[SIZE=16pt]Again, they all answered "No!" [/SIZE]
[SIZE=16pt]I was just bursting with pride for them.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=16pt]I continued, "Then how can I get into heaven?"[/SIZE]
[SIZE=16pt]They all answered, "You have to be dead!"[/SIZE]
