Honesty, where are you?

Chorus from Billy Joel’s Honesty lyrics:

Honesty is such a lonely word.

Everyone is so untrue.

Honesty is hardly ever heard.

And mostly what I need from you.

In the world of politics, statements are made to give a good impression of the politician and to try and please if possible, the most people, and that is why they are known as politically correct statements. Then the people would expect him to 'walk the talk' and very often, talk becomes mere talk and he would walk only the walk.

Sometimes, it is better to listen to kids for some honest statements and you can probably get some in those who attend church:

A wife invited some people to dinner.
At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, 'Would you like to say the blessing?'
'I wouldn't know what to say,' the girl replied.
'Just say what you hear Mommy say,' the wife answered.
The daughter bowed her head and said, 'Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?'

A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they were on the way to church service,
'And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?'
One bright little girl replied, 'Because people are sleeping.'

A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3.
The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake.
Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson.
'If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, 'Ryan , you be Jesus !'

3-year-old Reese:
'Our Father, Who does art in heaven,
Harold is His name.
Amen.
