An Explanation of God

One of God’s main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the one’s 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 preachers and things pray at times besides 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 mum and dad’s head asking for something they said you shouldn’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 reach 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 OK.
His dad (God) appreciated everything that he had done and all his hard work on earth so he told him that 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 (God) out by listening to prayers and seeing things. Which are important for God to take care of and which ones hw can rake 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 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 anyone 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 kids.
But…you shouldn’t just always think of what Godcan do for you. I’m sure God put me here and he can take me back anytime he pleases.
And….that’s why I believe in God

New Bishop for the Chester Diocese Announced.
The new Bishop of Chester has been unveiled on Zoom in what was described by his wife as a "weird" announcement.
The Right Reverend Mark Tanner was introduced to his flock online due to lockdown restrictions. The 49-year-old, who is currently Bishop of Berwick, made a series of appearances on social media to greet different sections of his new flock. He succeeds the Rt Rev Dr Peter Forster who retired in September 2019 after serving the diocese for 22 years.
Bishop Tanner also delivered a message on YouTube from near his residence in Northumberland. "This must be one of the weirdest announcement days," said his wife Lindsay. Her husband replied: "Which is why we have got up at the crack of dawn in Northumberland and you can hear the birdsong, it is a new day that God has created." He added: "And that's the point. The Church might be in lockdown like the rest of the nation, and we might not be able to be with you in person like we would love to be, but God's work is not finished."
The bishop said that a recent survey showed one in four people had participated in an online church service since lockdown. He said he was really looking forward to returning to the diocese where he was ordained in 1999 and where his two children were born.
The new bishop made a series of appearances on Zoom and Facebook Live to greet different sections of the diocese. He was consecrated Bishop of Berwick in 2016.
