"Dear God, how are you? Lord, if You can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am. Oops, that isn't a really good prayer, is it? Ok, I want to be like You. Could you just do that as soon as possible. Thank You for the little brother that I have...but what I prayed for was a new bike! So, since I have a baby brother, one big thing I have to ask God...bullies are picking on my little brother...what do you think of that? I want you to know that I don't like it. Could you turn them into toads? I mean, Mikey's a nice boy. Why do people have to throw sticks and stones at him when they haven't even given him a chance to be himself. I don't understand it. Yeah, I know he's not perfect. And, yeah, I've picked on him a few times...but I love him God. If you can make it rain, can you stop them from saying things about him that they don't understand? If you can make puppies, can you make them just stop long enough to give him a chance to say what he thinks without them saying bad stuff to him? And would you help him too? He's pretty mixed up. Thanks for answering my prayers God. God, I do not think anybody could be a better God. Well, I just want You to know but I am not just saying that because You are God already. Does that make sense?" And when I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, if I should die before I wake......can I have breakfast with you in the morning? Just thought I'd ask! Church was fun yesterday...wish You could have been there! Well, God, gotta go! Amen". Little Robbie
