The Center for Artificial Indifference

Out Of The Mouths Of Babes…

As the minister delivered the offertory prayer…

“Dear Lord,” he began with arms extended and a rapturous look on his upturned face, “Without You, we are but dust …”

He would have continued, but, at that moment, one very obedient little girl (who was listening carefully for a change) leaned over to her grandfather and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, “GRANDPAW, what is butt dust?”

Church was pretty much over at that point.
