"Written by an 8-year old, Danny Dutton of
Chula Vista, CA, for his third grade homework assignment.
The assignment
was to explain 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 here 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 preachers and things, pray at times
besides bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the radio or TV on
account of this."
"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
parent'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
killed 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 OK."
"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."
"You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to hear you because they
got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the times."
"It is good to know He's around you when you're scared in the dark or when
you can't swim very good and you get thrown into real deep water by big kids."
"Since He hears everything, not only prayers, there must be a terrible lot
of noise in His ears, unless He has thought of a way to turn it off."
When my doctors told me that my heart was failing, I knew that the
prognosis was grim and that my options were few. Without my faith, I
would have fallen apart and given up. But my faith strengthened me,
turning me away from fear and giving me the will go on in the face of
such overwhelming odds. My faith in God helped turn my fear into hope.
Uncertainty in the face of powerful, uncontrollable forces is frightening
under the best of circumstances. At that moment we are faced with a
momentous choice: we can descend into anxiety-ridden confusion, or we can
reach out for our faith to sustain us and give us strength to continue.
Faith is beyond reason; it fills the gap when you don't know what to do
or what's going to happen. It's the choice to go on living, even in the
face of death. It's the willingness to take a risk, even when the odds
are against you. It's a gift you receive and a choice you make. It's the
belief that in the most uncertain and difficult circumstances, whether
you can see it or not, there is purpose.
Fear and worry are needless and unproductive. Living in fear will
accomplish nothing and keep us from achieving our potential. Success is
empty and unsatisfying without faith. Without faith, life has no purpose
or direction, and the good life is impossible.
