I was testing children in my Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting into 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!" By now I was starting to smile. "Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave lollies to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get me into heaven?" Again, they all answered "NO!" I continued, "Then what do I have to do to get into heaven?" A six year-old boy shouted out, "YUV GOTTA BE DEAD!"
