Carol,

I met a minister last week who found out I send boxes to our troops.  He has a little pamphlet he puts out and it contains stories about faith, old time stories of incidents about church, etc.

The minister has his pamphlet in 17 countries but not in Iraq.  He would like to have the troops read it.  He asked me if I could help him get these overseas.  I have one of his pamphlets and it's really nice.

I came up with an idea if any of the folks on Storytime would like to give a hand.  Tell a story, email it to me, and give me permission to have it printed in this pamphlet.

The stories can be funny (something the troops sure could use is something cheerful) but they should be true life events.

Folks could tell a story about something they remember as a child on their way to church, in church, etc.  Incidents of something that happened that tested your faith.......things like this.

If anyone is interested, and they want their email address printed in the pamphlet, add it to the story.  If they only want their initials printed, just let me know.

But I need permission by the writer to do this.

I will be talking to the minister in the morning, and I told him I'd see what I could do.

I myself can think of many things that were funny that happened to me when I was in church as a child.  Like when my brother who was only 4 went with me one time.  When we began singing songs, the only song he knew was Old McDonald had a farm.  His voice belted out with that and I remember my grandma and mom were horrified!  I was almost 8 and I thought it was funny.  So did all the other kids.

Thanks,

Sharon Bryant
