Dear GOD,
Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother.  -Larry

Dear  GOD,
I bet it is very hard for You to love all of everybody in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our family and I can never do it.  -Nan

Dear GOD,
In school they told us what You do. Who does  it when You are on vacation?  -Jane

Dear GOD,
Are You really invisible or is it just a trick?  - Lucy

Dear GOD,
I read the Bible. What does "begat" mean? Nobody will tell me.  -Love, Allison

Dear GOD,
Is it true my father won't get in Heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house?  -Anita

Dear GOD,
 Did You mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?  - Norma

Dear GOD,
Who draws the lines around the countries?  -Nan

Dear GOD,
 I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church. Is that okay?  -Neil

Dear GOD,
Did You really mean " do unto others ad they do unto you"?  Because if You did, then I am going to fix my brother.  -Darla

Dear GOD,
Thank you for my baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy.  -Joyce

Dear GOD,
 Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before- You can look it up.  -Bruce

Dear GOD,
You don't have to worry about me. I always look both ways. -Dean

Dear GOD,
I think about You sometimes even when I am not praying.  -Elliott

Dear GOD,
 My brother told me about being born but it doesn't sound right. They're just kidding, aren't they?  -Marcia

Dear GOD,
We read Thomas Edison made light. But in Sunday school they said You did it so I bet he stole your idea.  -Sincerely, Donna

Dear GOD,
I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset You made on Tuesday.  That was cool. - Bob

May we always embrace a sense of childlike wonder.

Peace,
Father Jerry
