 Friday Tale - Where He Ain't 

He was just a little boy, on a week's first day.
He was wandering home from Sunday School, and dawdling on the way. 

He scuffed his shoes into the grass; he found a caterpillar.
He found a fluffy milkweed pod, and blew out all the "filler." 

A bird's nest in a tree overhead, so wisely placed on high.
Was just another wonder that caught his eager eye. 

A neighbor watched his zig zag course, and hailed him from the lawn;
Asked him where he'd been that day and what was going on. 

"I've been to Sunday School," he said and turned a piece of sod.
He picked up a wiggly worm replying, "I've learned a lot of God." 

"M'm very fine way," the neighbor said, "for a boy to spend his time."
"If you'll tell me where God is, I'll give you a brand new dime." 

Quick as a flash the answer came! Nor were his accents faint.
"I'll give you a dollar, Mister, if you can tell me where God ain't."

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."
You alone are the LORD. You have made the heavens,
The heaven of heavens with all their host,
The earth and all that is on it, The seas and all that is in them.
You give life to all of them And the heavenly host bows down before You.
~ Psalm 14:1 and Nehemiah 9:6
