what would I write?

Dave received an email that had scans of different letters children wrote to God. Sound awesome? It was better than we expected. Here are the highlights (only imagine kid handwriting and misspelled words).

Dear God,
I think the stapler is one of your greatest inventions.
- Ruth M.

Dear God,
I am an American, what are you?
- Robert

Dear God,
If you watch in church on Sunday, I will show you my new shoes.
- Mickey D

Dear God,
If we come back as something, please don’t let me be Jennifer Horton – because I hate her.
- Denise

Dear God,
If you give me a genie lamp, like in Aladdin, I will give you anything you want – except my money or my chess set.
- Raphael

Dear God,
If you let the dinosaurs not go extinct, we would not have a country. You did the right thing.
- Jonathan

Dear God,
Please send Dennis Clark to a different camp this year.
- Peter

Dear God,
Maybe Cain and Able wouldn’t kill each other so much if they had their own rooms. It worked for me and my brother.
- Larry.

If I were asked to write a letter at this very moment, it would go something like this:
Dear God,
Can you send me a Diet Coke and a few million dollars? I'll even pay the shipping.
-love, Sarah

The stapler IS one of his better ones--think about it! How else would elementary school classroom walls across the world be decorated?

And I don't like Jennifer Horton either : )

I would write to Him about how funny it is when I trip when nobody is around and I laugh because I know He saw.
