Dear God

These children's conversations with God made me smile.

DEAR GOD:

Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't you just keep the ones you got now? Louise

What does it mean You are a Jealous God? I thought You had everything. Ellen

Did you really mean do unto others as they do unto you, because if You did, then I'm really going to fix my brother. Darla

Thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy. Joyce

Why is Sunday school on Sunday? I thought it was supposed to be our day of rest. Tom

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

If we come back as something, please don't let me be Jennifer Horton because I hate her. Denise

If you give me a genie lamp like Aladdin, I will give you anything you want except my money or my chess set. Ralph

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

I want to be just like my Daddy when I get big but not with so much hair all over. Sam

Of all the people who work for You, I like Noah and David the best. Rob

My brother told me about being born but it doesn't sound right. Marsha

We read Thomas Edison made light. But in school they said You did it. So I bet he stoled your idea. Sincerely, Donna

I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday. That was cool. Eugene

Years ago I taught in a school in Knightsbridge. Every Monday the entire school went to St Saviour's and sat thro a very dull, short religious ceremony. I made sure I sat next to John, aged 6, because I loved his version of The Lord's Prayer - it began 'Are Arfer, who's art is in Devon' but he had the rest right. DD
