		A father was at the beach with his children when the four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore, where a sea gull lay dead in the sand. "Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked. "He died and went to Heaven," the dad replied. The boy thought a moment and then said, "Did God throw him back down?" "You know, Dad," 16 year old Jimmy started. "I'm now 16 and I think it is time that we talk about getting a car for me to drive." "Well, I'II make a deal with you, Jimmy," his Dad replied. "Well talk about this car idea when you can bring home a good report card and you get your hair cut!" A couple of months later, Jimmy brings home his report card. "Here you go, Dad. All A's!" "That's great, Jimmy," his Dad replied. "But you still haven't gotten your hair cut." "Well, Dad, while making those great grades, I was in a religion class and noticed that Jesus had long hair, all of the apostles had long hair. Moses, Joseph and even the kings of the land all had long hair." His Dad thought about this for a second and asked, "Did you notice what else they had in common?" "No, what?" Jimmy replied. "They were all WALKING!" A young woman brought her fiance home to meet her parents. After dinner, her father asked the young man into his study for a chat. "So, what are your plans?" the father said. "I'm a theology scholar," the young man replied. "Admirable," the father said, "but what will you do to provide a nice home for my daughter?" "I will study and God will provide," the young man explained. "And how will you afford to raise children?" the father asked. "God will provide," said the young man. The men left the study and the mother asked her husband, "How did it go?" "He has no money or employment plans," the father said. "But on the other hand, he thinks I'm God. "
