A Little Humor

Sally the Sunday school teacher lined up the children in her class so they could recite the creed they had been memorizing the past few weeks.

"I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth," Robbie began.
"And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord," Suzy said next.
"Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary," said Timmy.
"Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, buried," said Molly.
"He descended into hell," said Jim.
"The third day he rose again from the dead," said Margaret.
"He ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God," said Billy.
"From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead," said Jill.
A long silence followed. Finally Timmy spoke up and said, "The boy who believes in the Holy Ghost isn't here today."
