How Not To Win the Best Christian Attitude Award

(Photo by Mom)

When I was nine years old, I raised my hand in Sunday school and asked my teacher why God would drown all those innocent animals in Noah’s flood when it wasn’t their fault that people were sinful.  The look on Miss Linda’s face told me that this was not a question that little girls were supposed to ask in Sunday school, especially if they expected to win the Best Christian Attitude Award again…Read the rest over at Jesus Needs New PR!

And while you’re there, be sure to subscribe to Matthew Paul Turner’s feed—always something funny/bizarre/insightful/new there.

(By the way, we tried to find a picture of me with the Best Christian Attitude Award, but Mom says she didn't take any because she wanted me to be humble about my victory.)
