A young boy was sitting on a bench in front of the mall. A tall stranger walked by and asked the boy if he knew the way to the post office.

The lad said, “It’s easy, sir. Just go two blocks down this street, and turn right another two blocks, and the post office is right there.”

The stranger replied, “Thank you, son. By the way, I am the pastor of a church here in town, and we would love to have you come to our church, and I will show you the way to heaven.”

“Sir,” the boy said. “Just five minutes ago you didn’t even know the way to the post office.”
