Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.
The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.
The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.
The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, 'Do you know where God is, son?
The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.
So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, 'Where is God?!'
Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, 'Where is God?!'
The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home & dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.
When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, 'What happened?' The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, 'We are in BIG trouble this time.
'GOD is missing, and they think we did it!'
So, who's ready to end the year in style? What sorts of things do you have in mind for the final month of 2008? Any goals that still need to be reached? Something you haven't tried but said you would? Whatever it is, I wish you luck in achieving it. I do hope that the New Year will bring many more opportunities for better ourselves!

Cute joke!
My goal for December is to continue learning how to live 'on maintenance'.
Happy holidays!
It's always fun to start the day with a cute joke. My goal for December is to get the scale moving in the right direction -- at least a little bit -- after my not-so-good November.
Very cute joke. It is my laugh for the day. Love the Christmas theme background for your site. My goal for December is to not go up on the scale. So far so good at WI Monday night.
