quiet moment in church

(1) "Dear Lord," the preacher began, with arms extended and a rapturous look on his upturned face, "without you we are but dust..."

He would have continued, but at that moment one very observant little girl, listening carefully, leaned to her mother and asked quite audibly in her loud little girl voice, "Mommy, what is butt dust?"

Church was pretty much over at that point...


(2) After the preacher had been droning on from the pulpit for a while the opening bars for the first hymn floated through the church. As the congragation rose to sing there was a brief silence before the hymn started in full.

The piping voice of a 3 year old boy rang through the church, "are we going to dance now, mommy?"

Church was pretty much over at that point...
