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."
