Getting into Heaven

"Croak"

One day a boy asked his grandpa, "Grandpa can
you make a frog sound?"

The grandfather asked why?

The boy said, "Grandma says when you croak we
are going to Hawaii."

"Getting into Heaven"

"If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage
sale, and gave all my money to the church, would
that get me into heaven?" I asked the children in
my Sunday school class.

"NO!" the children all answered.

"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard,
and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get
me into heaven?"

Again the answer was, "NO!"

"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy
to all the children and loved my wife, would that get
me into heaven?" I asked them again.

Once more they all answered, "NO!"

"Well," I continued, thinking they were a good bit
more theologically sophisticated than I had given
them credit for, "then how can I get into heaven?"

A five-year-old boy shouted out, "You gotta be dead!"
