The Bible According To A Child

A child was asked to write a book report on the entire Bible. This is amazing and brought tears of laughter to my eyes.

In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, the Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that.

Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did. Then God made the world.

He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet.

Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden. Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars.

Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel.

Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.

One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check.

After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.

Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable.

God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments.

These include: don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's stuff.

Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother.

One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town.

After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't sound very wise to me.

After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets.

One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore. There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them.

After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of The New. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I had been born in a barn too, because my mom is always saying to me, 'Close the door! Were you born in a barn?' It would be nice to say, 'As a matter of fact, I was.')

During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Democrats.

Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him.

Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount.

But the Democrats and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.

Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again.

He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminum. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.

NO political comments allowed.  This was written by a child.

Peach Fluff

This peach fluff is a potluck staple featuring a mixture of juicy peaches, pecans, and marshmallows, all coated in a creamy peach-flavored dressing.

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1¼ cups powdered sugar

8 ounces whipped topping, thawed

3 ounces peach-flavored gelatin

30.5 ounces canned sliced peaches, drained and diced (or 5 to 6 fresh peeled, pitted, and diced)

2½ cups mini marshmallows

½ cup finely chopped pecans

Instructions

Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar for 1½ to 2 minutes, until smooth.

Whisk in the thawed whipped topping and peach-flavored gelatin.

Fold in the drained and diced peaches and mini marshmallows. Tightly cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

If you are using fresh peaches, toss the peaches in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice beforehand.

Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t have lumps in the creamy dressing.

Stir all the ingredients together carefully as you don’t want to break apart the fruit pieces.

For best results, make sure you give your salad at least 1 hour of chilling time. It allows all of the yummy flavors to blend together.
