Psalms 23
A pastor was giving a lesson to a group of children on the 23d Psalm.
He noticed that one of the little boys seemed disquieted by the phrase, “Surely, goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life . . .”
“What’s wrong with that, Johnny?” the pastor asked.
“Well,” answered Johnny, “I understand about having goodness and mercy, for God is good. But I’m not sure I’d like Shirley following me around all the time.”
