A pastor was giving a lesson to a group of children
on the 23rd Psalm. He noticed that one of the little
boys seemed disquieted by the phrase "Surely, goodness
and mercy will follow me all the days of my life..."
"What's wrong with that, Johnny?" the pastor asked.
"Well," answered Johnny, "I understand about having
goodness and mercy, for God is good. But I'm not sure
I'd like Shirley following me around all the time."
