INNOCENCE IS PRICELESS
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Randy standing in the foyer
of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names and
small American flags mounted on either side of it.
The six-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the
pastor walked up,
stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, 'Good morning Randy.'
'Good morning Pastor,' he replied, still focused on the plaque. 'Pastor,
what is this?'
The pastor said, 'Well son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women
who died in the service.'
Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque.
Finally, little Randy's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear
asked, 'Which service,
the 8:30 or the 10:45?'
