Sunday School Truancy!

My little brother Tommy and I moved to Colorado in 1962. I was 12 years old and Tommy 10. We attended a Methodist church in Loveland. Our parents would drop us off for Sunday school and then return one hour later for the main service. Our parents would give us a dime each for the Sunday school offering. That was big money then since gasoline was 20 cents per gallon! The problem was there was a Dairy Queen just one block up from the church and it was open on Sunday! A dime would buy a big milk shake so we cashed in! We showed up at the Dairy Queen with black pants, white shirts, bow ties, crew cut hair with lots of butch wax on top! The hard part was after church when mom asked us what we learned in Sunday school? We struggled and sweated but came up with an answer like he talked about God. It was the owner of the Dairy Queen that blew our cover! We came into the store one Sunday morning and the owner said, “My goodness boys your church sure gets out early!” We went into panic mode and went back to Sunday school! The point here is back in those days the shop owner could have sold out for money and looked the other way! He did not and the Christian faith at that time in our history was a strong social net to protect our culture from unrighteousness! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
