Out of the mouth of babes!

                                                     EXPLAINING 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 priests 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."
