Summary: Indulge me, if you will, before I read from the Good Book as I read from another book. Our church sponsors an annual children's camp each summer. Two years ago our theme was "The Gospel According to Dr. Seuss." As the camp pastor, I had the privilege of reading up on some of those classic stories from the pen of the great Theodore Seuss Geisel. It was to prepare for our nightly worship services at camp. So before I read from the Bible's story I want to read a bit -- just a small bit -- from this piece Dr. Seuss first penned more than 60 years ago called On Beyond Zebra! Said Conrad Cornelius o'Donald o'Dell, My very young friend who is learning to spell: "The A is for Ape. The B is for Bear. The C is for Camel. The H is for Hare. The M is for Mouse. And the R is for Rat. I know all the twenty-six letters like that... ...through to Z is for Zebra I know them all well." Said Conrad Cornelius O'Donald o'Dell. "So now I know everything anyone knows From beginning to end. From the start to the close Because Z is as far as the alphabet goes." Then he almost fell flat on his face on the floor When I picked up the chalk and drew one letter more!
