- RIPPED FROM THE WEB

-
- This was written by an 8 year old,
- Danny Dutton of Chula Vista, CA, for
- his third grade homework assignment.
- The assignment was to explain God.
- Wonder if any of us could do as
- well???

- EXPLAIN GOD
-
-
- One of God's main jobs is making
- people. He makes them to replace the
- ones that die so there will be enough
- people to take care of things on
- earth. He doesn't make grown-ups, just
- babies. I think because they are
- smaller and easier to make. That way
- He doesn't have to take up His
- valuable time teaching them to talk
- and walk. He can just leave that to
- mothers and fathers.
-
- God's second most important job is
- listening to prayers. An awful lot of
- this goes on, since some people, like
- preachers and things, pray at times
- beside bedtime. God doesn't have time
- to listen to the radio or TV because
- of this. Because He hears everything,
- there must be a terrible lot of noise
- in His ears, unless He has thought of
- a way to turn it off. God sees
- everything and hears everything and is
- everywhere which keeps Him pretty
- busy. So you shouldn't go wasting His
- time by going over your Mom and Dad's
- head asking for something they said
- you couldn't have.
-
- Atheists are people who don't
- believe in God. I don't think there
- are any in Chula Vista. At least there
- aren't any who come to our church.
-
- Jesus is God's Son. He used to do
- all the hard work like walking on
- water and performing miracles and
- trying to teach the people who didn't
- want to learn about God. They finally
- got tired of Him preaching to them and
- they crucified Him.
-
- But He was good and kind, like His
- Father and He told His Father that
- they didn't know what they were doing
- and to forgive them and God said O.K.
- His Dad (God) appreciated everything
- that He had done and all His hard work
- on earth so He told Him He didn't have
- to go out on the road any more. He
- could stay in Heaven. So He did. And
- now He helps His Dad out by listening
- to prayers and seeing things which are
- important for God to take care of and
- which ones He can take care of Himself
- without having to bother God. Like a
- secretary, only more important. You
- can pray anytime you want and they are
- sure to help you because they got it
- worked out so one of them is on duty
- all the time.
-
- You should always go to church on
- Sunday because it makes God happy, and
- if there's anybody you want to make
- happy, it's God. Don't skip church to
- do something you think will be more
- fun like going to the beach. This is
- wrong. And besides the sun doesn't
- come out at the beach until noon
- anyway.
-
- If you don't believe in God,
- besides being an atheist, you will be
- very lonely, because your parents
- can't go everywhere with you, like to
- camp, but God can. It is good to know
- He's around you when you're scared in
- the dark or when you can't swim and
- you get thrown into real deep water by
- big kids.
-
- But...you shouldn't just always
- think of what God can do for you. I
- figure God put me here and He can take
- me back anytime He pleases.
-
- And...that's why I believe in
- God."
