Dear God
When kids address The Man Upstairs, they don't beat around the bush.

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

Dear God,
Thank you for the baby brother, but what I asked for was a puppy. I never asked for anything before. You can look it up.
Joyce
***
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
***
God,
I read the Bible. What does beget mean? Nobody will tell me.
Love,
Alison
***
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 bet it's 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.
Nancy
***
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,
I am doing the best I can. Really.
Frank

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

Dear God,
Do you draw the lines around the countries? If you don't, who does?
Nathan
***
Dear God,
Did you mean for giraffes to look like that or was it an accident?
Norma
***
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,
Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they each had their own rooms. It works out OK with me and my brother.
Larry
***
Dear God,
I keep waiting for spring, but it never did come yet. What's up? Don't forget.
Mark
***
Dear God,
My brother told me about how you are born, but it just doesn't sound right. What do you say?
Marsha
***
Dear God,
Is Reverend Coe a friend of yours, or do you just know him through the business?
Donny
***
Dear God,
Do not think anybody could be a better God than you. Well, I just want you to know that. I am not just saying that because you are already God.
Charles
***
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 didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday night. That was really cool.
