MARCH 7 "INVISIBLE GOD"
There's a story about a kindergarten teacher
who asked little Jonnie what he was going to draw for his art project, he said,
“I hate drawing, I’m not at drawing, why can’t I do something else?”
Jonnie replied, “I know, I did , I’m done already."

The kindergarten teacher quickly responded and
let the boy know who was in charge. She said, “listen here young man, you are
going to pick a subject, you are going to write about your subject and then
you are going to draw a picture to go along with your subject and you are not
leaving until you do this assignment, you understand me!?
“Yes", little Jonnie replied.
Johnnie wrote briefly, put his pencil down and
began to look around as if he was done.
The teacher noticing Johnnie was still not
writing while the other students where still drawing, asked him, "Jonnie, what did I tell you?"Jonnie replied, “I know, I did , I’m done already."
“Really”, replied his teacher, let me see, what
you have.
She picked up the paper.
“My subject that I want to write and draw
about, is God. God is good, he is kind and he does not force his children to do
things they’re not good at”.
"Very cute Jonnie, now draw a picture, to go along with your subject, Johnnie!"
the teacher said, grinding her teeth.
Jonnie looked up at her, thought for a
minute….and said, "Can I have my paper back, I forgot to write
something about God"
The teacher gave him back his paper.
Jonnie wrote, "among many things I wrote about
God, I also want to add that God is...invisible!"
Teacher grabbed the paper back, and asked, "where, prêt
ale…. is the picture?"
Jonnie, replied, "it’s right there, in front of
you, you’re looking at my picture of the invisible God, it’s there, you just
can’t see, cause he’s invisible!!! And I think that if anyone was to attempt to
draw a picture of the invisible God, they could not do a much better job than
that, can I leave now?!"Richard P Swift
