That was cool.<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nInstead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don&#8217;t You just keep the ones You have?<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nMaybe Cain and Abel would not have killed each other so much if they had their own rooms.  That&#8217;s what my Mom did for me and my brother.<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nIf You watch me in church on Sunday, I&#8217;ll show You my new shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nI 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&#8217;m having a hard time loving all of them.<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nIn school they told us what You do.  Who does it when You&#8217;re on vacation?<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nAre You really invisible or is it just a trick?<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nIs it true my father won&#8217;t get in Heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house?<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nDid You mean for the Giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nWho draws the lines around the countries?<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nI went to this wedding and they kissed Right in the church.  Is that okay?<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nDid You really mean &#8220;do unto others as they do unto you&#8221;?  Because if You did, then I&#8217;m going to get My brother good.<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nThank You for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy.<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nPlease send me a pony.  I never asked for anything before.  You can look it up.<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nI want to be just like my Daddy when I get big, but not with so much hair all over.<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nYou don&#8217;t have to worry about me; I always look both ways.<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nI think about You sometimes, even when I&#8217;m not praying.<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nOf all the people who work for You I like Noah and David the best.<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nMy brother told me about being born, but it doesn&#8217;t sound right.  They&#8217;re just kidding, aren&#8217;t they?<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nI would like to live 900 years just like the guy in the Bible.<\/p>\n<p>Dear God:<br \/>\nWe read Thomas Edison made light.  But in Sunday school they said You did it.  So, I bet he stole Your idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A nun asked her class to write notes to God.
