Wouldn't God Show Through?


A little girl, on the way home from church, turned to her mother and said, "Mommy, the preacher's sermon this morning confused me."
The mother said, "Oh! Why is that?" The girl replied, "Well, he said that God is bigger than we are. Is that true?"
"Yes, that's true," the mother replied. "He also said that God lives within us. Is that true, too?"
Again the mother replied, "Yes."
"Well," said the girl. "if God is bigger than us and He lives in us, wouldn't He show through?"

Report from Nazareth Secondary School



Ever wondered what it was like for Jesus at Nazareth High?

Nazareth Secondary School Term Report 

Student: J. CHRIST Grade: 11 Term: 1

SUBJECT GRADE TEACHER'S COMMENT
Religion D To the question "Who made the world?" persisted in answering 'My dad'. Claims bible originated from the same source.
English D+ Tends to speak and write in archaic forms and uses outmoded figures of speech.
History A Excellent pupil of ancient and Religious History.
Geography C- Assignment on 'Hot, dry lands' was excellent, but shows little interest in the rest. In geology, keeps talking about the Rock of Ages instead of the ages of Rock.
Social Studies B+ Shows keen interest in social issues
Mathematics F Lacks basics. Keeps muttering about 'Three in one' and 'I and the father are one'.
General Science D Lacks discipline - e.g., when asked to repeat the experiment for making hydrogen, claimed he knew a better way.
Graphic Communication D Prefers to draw with a stick in the sand to pencil and paper.
Consumer Education C+ Interesting ideas about alternative life style: Something about living like sparrows and lilies of the fields...too impractical.
Art/Craft B Obviously has imagination and creativity, a good potter - likes working with dirt and water.
Material Studies A Excellent in woodwork section. Obviously receives help and stimulation at home.
Music/Drama B+ A keen member of the school choir. On occasions can be frighteningly dramatic.
Community A Keenly interested in all aspects of Living community.
Physical Education D- A trouble maker - e.g. during the learn-to-swim campaign insisted on trying to walk across the pool.
Health Classes A Shows a remarkable aptitude for first aid and knowledge of the body.

CLASS TEACHER'S COMMENT: 
This boy has a very unhealthy tendency to form gangs.
He has organized twelve of his friends into a gang and is seen constantly in the company of the children of publicans and sinners.
He needs to be more selective in his choice of friends.
Also, he should learn to keep his hair at a tidy length and not wear sandals with the school uniform.
