[StBernard] A Little Boy's Explanation of God--Fabulous!!

[Westley Annis]

 This is pretty cool!   
 
    
THIS IS FABULOUS!!!

It was written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who lives in Chula Vista
, CA . 
He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment, to 'explain God.' I
wonder 
if any of us could have done as well? 
[ .... and he had such an assignment, in California , and someone published
it, 
I guess miracles do happen ! ... ]


EXPLANATION OF 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 grownups, 
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 anymore. 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.'




(If you believe in God, please pass this on, and may God bless you too.)
