Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know if any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.
The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. The mother sent the 8 year old in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?" The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?! Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "WHERE is GOD?!" The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home & dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked,"What happened?" The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time!" "GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!"   |

Before I say my thought
I would like to dedicate it to someone someone who has never heard of this site yet will never post on it they won't see my posts at all They are a close friend a close friend that I would never call "friend" since I consider them my relative They had pain back sometime ago it became cancer that got misdruged they passed away I went to their funeral and did a tribute last year I would like to say that they have somewhat inspired this and during my vacation would be responsible for the rest With that said I go to my thought one that I value with great value Pitiful I have never seen it in the dictionary yet I know its meaning I said that there were many pitiful things during the trip the wait at the border gas construction stupid drivers back stabbing people the list could go on but I am stopping it there I said that word many times I said it so many times I lost my meaning of it I saw it was a word that didn't exist After saying it so many times, it seemed pointless to keep speaking it It seems that I failed to see the positiveness from things I failed to see the lessons Until now Life can be full of "pitiful" things But, there are some positive things from it yeah this world seems like it is going to mess itself over but that means that a greater lesson is going to be learned so that things don't repeat themselves

Still looking for you Doug!
