The 'Word' from our Sponsor

“ And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. ”  

 
Did you hear the one ... (ran out of Knight jokes)

     A kindergarten teacher was walking around observing her classroom of children while they were drawing pictures. As she got to one girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
   The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
   The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
   Without looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

Rate the joke...
