A SUNDAY School teacher was having her first class.
She wanted to test the children's understanding of what was required to get into God's little garden.
"If I sold my house and my car, had a garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into Heaven?"
"NO!" the children answered. "If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?"
Again, the answer was, "NO!" By now the teacher was starting to smile. Hey, this was fun!
"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave lollies to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get me into Heaven?"
I asked them again. Again, they all answered "NO!" The teacher was just burstiing with pride for them.
"Well," she continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?"
A six year old boy shouted out, "You gotta be dead!"
