Hope you all enjoy these. Barb 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 that just a trick? Lucy 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, 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, Thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy. Joyce 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 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, I think the stapler is one of your greatest inventions. Ruth M. Dear GOD, I bet it is very hard for You to love all of everybody in the whole world. There are only four people in our family and I can never do it. Nan Dear GOD, If You watch me 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 stoled your idea.
