I was testing children in my Dublin Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven.
I asked them, ' If I sold my house and my car, had a big 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 garden, and kept everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?'
Again, the answer was ' NO! '
If I gave sweets to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get me into heaven?
Again, they all answered ' NO! '
I was just bursting with pride for them.
I continued, ' Then how can I get into heaven? '
A six year-old boy shouted out: "YUV GOTTA BE FOOKN ' DEAD...."
