[I remember trying to ask some of these questions in grade school (it was  
parochial) -- they didn't get much of a laugh then, just a nervous titter...

     Dear GOD,
     In school they told us what You do.  Who does it when You are on
     vacation? -Jane

     Dear GOD,
     Are you really invisible or is that just a trick? -Lucy

     Dear GOD,
     Is it true my father won't get in Heaven if he uses his bowling words
     in the house? -Anita

     Dear GOD,
     Did you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?
     -Norma

     Dear GOD,
     Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't
     You just keep the ones You have now? -Jane

     Dear GOD,
     Who draws the lines around the countries? -Nan

     Dear GOD,
     I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church.  Is that okay?
     -Neil

     Dear GOD,
     What does it mean You are a Jealous God?  I thought You had everything.
     -Jane

     Dear GOD,
     Did you really mean "do unto others as they do unto you"?  Because if
     you did, then I'm going to fix my brother! -Darla

     Dear GOD,
     It rained for our whole vacation and is my father mad!  He said some
     things about You that people are not supposed to say, but I hope You
     will not hurt him anyway. Your friend (But I am not going to tell you
     who I am)

     Dear GOD,
     Why is Sunday school on Sunday?  I thought it was supposed to be our
     day of rest. -Tom L.

     Dear GOD,
     Please send me a pony.  I never asked for anything before, You can look
     it up. -Bruce

     Dear GOD,
     If You give me a genie lamp like Aladin, I will give you anything you
     want except my money or my chess set. -Raphael

     Dear GOD,
     My brother is a rat.  You should give him a tail.  Ha ha. -Danny

     Dear GOD,
     Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they had their
     own rooms.   It works with my brother. -Larry

     Dear GOD,
     I want to be just like my Daddy when I get big but not with so much
     hair all over. -Sam

     Dear GOD,
     I think the stapler is one of your greatest inventions. -Ruth M.

     Dear GOD,
     I bet it is very hard for You to love all of everybody in the whole
     world. There are only 4 people in our family and I can never do it.
     -Nan

     Dear GOD,
     If You watch me in church Sunday, I'll show You my new shoes.
     -Mickey D.

     Dear GOD,
     I would like to live 900 years like the guy in the Bible.
     Love, Chris

     Dear GOD,
     We read Thomas Edison made light.  But in school they said You did it.
     So I bet he stoled your idea. Sincerely, Donna

     Dear GOD,
     Thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy.
     -Joyce
