Little Boy's Explanation of God -- Fabulous!!!
SHARED BY THE CLAYTONS AND FRIENDS
It was written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who lives in Chula Vista , CA . He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment, to 'explain God.' I wonder if any of us could have done as well?
[ .... and he had such an assignment, in California , and someone published it, I guess miracles do happen ! ... ]EXPLANATION OF GOD:
'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 grownups, 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 beside 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 mom and dad's head asking for something they said you couldn'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 teach 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 O.K.'
'His dad (God) appreciated everything that he had done and all his hard work on earth so he told him 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 out by listening to prayers and seeing things which are important for God to take care of and which ones he can take 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 it 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 anybody 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 big kids.'
'But.....you shouldn't just always think of what God can do for you. I figure God put me here and he can take me back anytime he pleases.
And...that's why I believe in God.'
(If you believe in God, please pass this on, and may God bless you too.)

HOW TO GET MORE GAS OUT OF YOUR MONEY
TIPS ON PUMPING GAS
I don't know what you guys are
paying for gasoline.... but here in
California we are paying up to $3.75
to $4.10 per gallon. My line of
work is in petroleum for about
31 years now, so here are some
tricks to get more of your
money's worth for every gallon:
Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline
where I work in San Jose, CA we
deliver about 4 million gallons
in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline..
One day is diesel the next day
is jet fuel, and gasoline, regular
and premium grades. We have
34-storage tanks here with a
total capacity of 16,800,000
gallons.
Only buy or fill up your car
or truck in the early morning
when the ground temperature
is still cold. Remember that
all service stations have
their storage tanks buried below
ground. The colder the ground
the more dense the gasoline,
when it gets warmer gasoline
expands, so buying in the
afternoon or in the evening....
your gallon is not exactly
a gallon. In the
petroleum business, the
specific gravity and the
temperature of the gasoline,
diesel and jet fuel, ethanol
and other petroleum products
plays an important role.
A 1-degree rise in temperature
is a big deal for this business.
But the service stations do not
have temperature compensation at
the pumps.
When you're filling up do
not squeeze the trigger of the
nozzle to a fast mode If you
look you will see that the
trigger has three (3)stages:
low, middle, and high. You should
be pumping on low mode, thereby
minimizing the vapors that are
created while you are pumping.
All hoses at the pump
have a vapor return. If you are
pumping on the fast rate, some
of the liquid that goes to your
tank becomes vapor. Those vapors
are being sucked upand
back into the underground
storage tank so you're getting
less worth for your money.
One of the most important tips
is to fill up when your gas
tank is HALF FULL. The reason
for this is the more gas you
have in your tank the less air
occupying its empty space.
Gasoline evaporates faster
than you can imagine.
Gasoline storage tanks have
an internal floating roof.
This roof serves
as zero clearance between the
gas and the atmosphere, so it
minimizes the evaporation. Unlike
service stations, here where I
work, every truck that we load
is temperature compensated so
that every gallon is actually
the exact amount.
Another reminder, if there is
a gasoline truck pumping into
the storage tanks when you stop
to buy gas, DO NOT fill up; most
likely the gasoline is being
stirred up as the gas is being
delivered, and you might pick up
some of the dirt that normally
settles on the bottom.
To have an impact, we need to
reach literally millions of
gas buyers.
It's really simple to do.
I'm sending this note to about
thirty people. If each of you send it
to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)...
and those 300 send it to at least
ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)
and so on, by the time the
message reaches the sixth generation
of people, we will have reached
over THREE MILLION
consumers
!!!!!!! If those three million get
excited and pass this on to ten
friends each, then 30 million people
will have been contacted!
If It goes one level further,
you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED
MILLION PEOPLE!!!
