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.)
  Have an awesome day, and know that someone has  thought about you!
