A Director of Religious Education was new in the small town and she needed to get directions to the post office to mail a package.

If he attends, I’ll teach him how to get to heaven.” She looked down at the boy and asked, ” How does that sound?” The boy replied, “No thanks, you don’t even know how to get to the post office!”
