                    CHILREN’S SERMON
I once heard about a confrontation between a young boy and his mother. 
The mother asked her son, "Young man, there were two cookies in the pantry this morning! May I ask how it happened that there’s only one now?" 
The boy didn’t flinch but said, "It must’ve been so dark I didn’t
