The Bible says there's "a time to laugh" - (Ecc. 3:4). Well, I don't know about you, but I need a good laugh this week. Here's a sampling of some humorous words from kids in letters to their pastors that came my way via the internet. Enjoy!

Dear Pastor, I know God loves everybody but He never met my sister. Yours sincerely, Arnold. Age 8

Dear Pastor, Please say in your sermon that Peter Peterson has been a good boy all week. I am Peter Peterson. Sincerely, Pete. Age 9.

Dear Pastor, My mother is very religious. She goes to play bingo at church every week even if she has a cold. Yours truly, Annette. Age 9.

Dear Pastor, I would like to go to heaven someday because I know my brother won't be there. Stephen. Age 8.

Dear Pastor, I think a lot more people would come to your church if you moved it to Disneyland. Loreen. Age 9.

Dear Pastor, Please say a prayer for our Little League team. We need God's help or a new pitcher. Thank you. Alexander. Age 10.

Dear Pastor, My father says I should learn the Ten Commandments. But I don't think I want to because we have enough rules already in my house. Joshua. Age 10.

Dear Pastor, I liked your sermon on Sunday. Especially when it was finished. Ralph, Age 11.
