               Children's Letters to God

 Dear God,
 I read the Bible.  What does begat mean?  Nobody will tell me.
 Love, Alison

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

 Dear God,
 Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't
 you just keep the ones you have now?
 -Jane

 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,
 What does it mean you are a Jealous God? I thought you had
 everything.
 -Jane

 Dear God,
 Did you really mean "do unto others as they do unto you"? Because
 if you did, then I'm going to fix my brother.
 -Darla

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

 Dear God,
 It rained for our whole vacation and is my father mad! He said some
 things about you that people are not supposed to say, but I hope you
 will not hurt him anyway.
  - Your friend (But I am not going to tell you who I am)

 Dear God,
 Why is Sunday school on Sunday? 
 I thought it was supposed to be our day of rest.
 -Tom L.

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

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

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

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

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

 Dear God,
 I think the stapler is one of your greatest inventions.
 -Ruth
 
 Dear God,
 I think about you sometimes even when I'm not praying.
 -Elliott

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

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

 Dear God,
 If you watch in church Sunday, I'll show you my new shoes.
 -Mickey D.

 Dear God,
 I would like to live 900 years like the guy in the Bible. 
 Love, Chris

 Dear God,
 We read Thomas Edison made light.  But in school they said you did it.
 So I bet he stole your idea.
 Sincerely,
 Donna

 Dear God,
 The bad people laughed at Noah -- "You made an ark on dry land you
 fool." But he was smart; he stuck with you.  That's what I would do.
 -Eddie

 Dear God,
 I do not think anybody could be a better God.  Well, I just want you
 to know.  But I am not just saying that because you are God already.
 -Charles

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

Dear God,
Please put another holiday
between Christmas and Easter.
There is nothing good in there now.
Amanda

Dear Mr. God,
I wish you would not make it so easy
for people to come apart
I had to have 3 stitches and a shot.
Janet

Dear God,
Do you draw the lines around the countries?
If you don't, who does?
Nathan

Dear God,
How did you know you were God?
Who told you?
Charlene

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

Dear God,
I like the story about Noah
the best of all of them.
You really made up some good ones.
I like walking on water, too.
Glenn

Dear God,
My Grandpa says you were around when he was a little boy.
How far back do you go?
Love, Dennis

Dear God,
In bible times, did they really talk that fancy?
Jennifer

Dear God,
How come you did all those miracles
in the old days and don't do any now?
Billy

Dear God,
Please send Dennis Clark
to a different summer camp this year.
Peter

Dear God,
I keep waiting for spring,
but it never did come yet.
What's up?  Don't forget.
Mark

Dear God,
Is Reverend Coe a friend of yours,
or do you just know him through the business?
Donny


Dear God,
It is great the way you always
get the stars in the right place.
Why can't you do that with the moon?
Jeff

Dear God,
I am doing the best I can.
Really !!!!
Frank
