1. The Father that Strengthens a Home!

A census taker was working in the hills of Arkansas. He walked up to one shed where a woman was sitting on the step. After introducing himself, the census taker said, "How many children do you have?" The woman answered, "Fo'."

The census taker then asked, "May I have their names, please?" The woman replied, "Eenie, Meenie, Minie and George." Confused, the census taker said, "Okay, that's fine. But may I ask why you named your fourth child 'George'?" She replied, "Because we didn't want any Mo'."

But they knew where the track was, and what was wrong. Many of today's children don't seem to know right from wrong, and many don't seem to care. Thus, today's children are robbing, maiming and killing on whims with no pity or remorse."
