God, According to an 8 Year Old Written by an 8 year old from Chula Vista, CA, for his third grade homework assignment. The assignment was to explain God. I just wonder if any of us could do as well? ————————————————— 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 on earth. He doesn’t make grown-ups, just babies.

Someone advised, “If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.” You’ve probably heard it said that it’s nice to be important, but it’s important to be nice. And there’s truth in that.

When courageous people take unpopular stances, they aren’t always seen by their opposition in a soft and gentle light. Not too long into the American Civil War the Union finally won a victory at Antietam. President...
