When I was about 3 years old, I went to church with my mom and dad. They told me all about church and told me that it was God's house (that was so I would behave, I had to behave at other people's houses). Well, when I got there and church started, I was looking all around the pews and picking up the kneelers and hymnals. My parents asked me what I was doing and I said "I'm looking for God... this is his house and he isn't even here... that is very rude, mommy." Later on I learned the truth.
