- THE MAP -

a father wanted to read a magazine, but was being bothered by his little girl, shelby - she wanted to know what the united states looked like - finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of the country - tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to shelby & said, "go into the other room & see if you can put this together - this will show you our whole country today" - after a few minutes, she returned & handed him the map, correctly fitted & taped together - the father was surprised & asked how she'd finished so quickly - "oh," she said, "on the other side of the paper's a picture of jesus & when i got all of jesus back where he belonged, then our country just came together." - AMEN!
