HOW DO YOU GET TO HEAVEN?I was testing the children in my Sunday school class to seeif they understood the concept of getting to heaven.I asked them, "If I sold my house and my car, had a biggarage sale and
gave all my money to the church, wouldthat get me into Heaven?"
"NO!" the children answered."If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, andkept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?"
Again, the answer was, "NO!"By now I was starting to smile. Hey, this was fun!"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy toall the children, and loved my husband, would that get meinto 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 five-year-old boy shouted out,"YOU GOTTA BE DEAD."
