Excerpts from Children's Letters to God
compiled by Stuart Hample and Eric Marshall

Here are some letters that children have written to God. A few of them are heartwarming and most of them are quite amusing, but it just comes to show how honest children can be (something we can all learn to be more of). The spelling and the grammar may be incorrect, but this is the way that they've written it and I thought it would be more effective if it were left that way. Hope you get a few smiles out of this *wink*.

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."
Mark 10:14 (NIV)
