THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
I AM OFTEN IMPRESSED BY WHAT YOUNG CHILDREN SAY, AND TODAY, I GOT A GREAT SELECTION FROM Billy O’Sullivan -- letters to God from young children who really have some great observations.
Dear God: Maybe Cain and Able would not kill each other so much, if they had their own rooms. It works with me and my brother! LARRY
Dear God: Please send Dennis Clarke to a different camp this year. PETER
Dear God: I would like to be 900 years, like the guy in the bible. LOVE! CHRIS
Dear God: If you give me a genie lamp like Aladdin, I will give you anything you want --- except my money or my chess set. RAPHAEL
Dear God: If we come back as something else, please don’t let me be Jennifer Horton, because I hate her. DENISE
Dear God: I bet it is very hard for you to love all of everybody in the whole world. There are only four people in our family and I can never do it. NAN
Dear God: I am an American, what are you? ROBERT

I came across another good quotation in today’s Irish Times, the British sergeant-major’s Sunday morning instructions to his troops during the First World War. Roman Catholics to the right; Church of England to the left; all other fancy religions, fall in behind.
Finally a science writer, William Reville, in the course of an article about whether the human brain continues to function after the body’s demise, points out that we spend very little time worrying about death, which we know is certain, and a lot of time fretting about things in the future that, quite likely, will never happen. Shakespeare said it best: Present Fears are Less than Horrible Imaginings.
