I was testing the children in my Govan Sunday School class to see if they understood the concept of getting to Heaven. So 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 yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?'
Again, the answer was, 'NO!' By now I was starting to smile.
'Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children, and loved my husband would that get me into Heaven?' I asked them again.
Again, they all answered, 'NO!'
I was just bursting with pride for them.
Well, I continued, 'then how can I get into Heaven?'
?

A six-year-old boy shouted out 'YOU GOTTA BE Frickin DEAD.
'NO!' the children answered.
