Welcome, Mr. Bear!!

I once knew a little girl who would walk to church every Sunday with her Mom. One day, the little girl decided to bring her favorite stuffed animal, Edward Bear, to church. As Mom was filling out the registration card for mother and daughter, the little girl was filling out a guest registration card for Edward Bear. The church was a small and welcoming Baptist church, so all guests got a welcome letter in the mail. In a few days, a very perplexed mother asked her little daughter why The First Baptist Church of Sunland had sent a letter addressed to Mr. Edward Bear. The church hoped he had enjoyed his visit (he did), and invited him to come again (he didn't).
