Subject: [Sndbox] The Stolen
Turkey
Ducking into confession with a turkey in his arms,
Brian
said, "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I stole
this
turkey to feed my family. Would you take it and settle
my
guilt?"
"Certainly not," said the Priest. "As penance, you
must
return it to the one from whom you stole it."
"I tried,"
Brian sobbed, "but he refused. Oh, Father, what
should I do?"
"If
what you say is true, then it is all right for you to
keep it for your
family."
Thanking the Priest, Brian hurried off.
When
confession was over, the Priest returned to his
residence. When he walked
into the kitchen, he found that
someone had stolen his
turkey.

"Why is it that when we talk to
God we're said
to be praying, but when God talks to us
we're
schizophrenic?"
