One mans fictitious offer to HELP God.31 total reviews
Comment from Ric Myworld
I have to admit I found your tongue and cheek humor entertaining and you and I both will probably get blasted for it. LOL. But the saddest part of it all is God gave us all free will to make our own choices, and most of us, me included, have failed miserable to make the right ones. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from LJbutterfly
This letter to God is humorous, but thought-provoking. As a God-fearing, church going, Bible believing Christian, I perfectly understand your letter. Since God addressed all of your suggested talking points in the Bible, people need folks like you to help God by posting in your own special way, on social media to capture the attention of modern, lost generations. I enjoyed this letter, and think it should be a Blog or Vlog post. Best wishes in the contest.

Thanks so much for this wonderful review of, "Dear God". I really appreciate the five EXCELLENT stars. I have been anticipating starting a Blog and a corresponding Vlog.I appreciate the affirmation and the, "Nudge", as well.
Comment from Jim Wile
This was a very thoughtful and amusing entry for this contest. You seem to have covered all the bases except possibly for one that is sort of implied but would enhance His persuasiveness if explicitly voiced.
Unless you are a deist who believes God set things in motion only, but no longer continues to work or respond to prayers, you might add something like: "I continue to work and will respond to your prayers." to your list of talking points.
But all-in-all, a wonderful job!

Hey Jim, Thanks so much for this wonderful review of, "Dear God". I really appreciate the five EXCELLENT stars. As to your point about Gods response to prayer, you are totally correct. If I was smart enough to think of that while composing the letter, it would have been in there! However, I had already been to the mailbox and sent the letter when I read your wonderful review. Thanks!

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Good work. Nicely written.
Thanks for writing/posting this.
Too many people don't understand the whole 'faith business - believing in things that they cannot see'.
They also undervalue the issue of 'consequences of sin'. They also confuse God's love and blessings with material wealth.
Best wishes.

Comment from Wendy G
I really enjoyed this because you wrote with realism, authenticity, and a little humour, and at the same time you conveyed an excellent thought-provoking message. You also showed that you have experienced pain (with the two miscarriages). Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Edit out extra space in: "You really know about the pain and suffering Satan and sin have caused."

Thanks so much for this wonderful review of, "Dear God". It sounds to me like I could say, "Mission Accomplished". You got what I was trying to put down. I really appreciate the five EXCELLENT stars.
Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
OMGosh, now I know you are a part of Pam and me, because you are just as crazy as we are. lol... This is remarkable. What a wonderful way to show your sense of humor and dedication to our great Heavenly Father at the same time.
You wrote this with such care not to offend our God, but to make it interesting to those who need to hear the Word. I am thrilled that you wrote to Pam, as she is too. She thinks it is a riot. So be watching for a little surprise, where you were going to get just a little Nod, but now you are going to get more of a Nad. I have to get on that tonight yet and hopefully will be posted by tomorrow sometime.
So glad you found us bro, and we will have lots of fun, as we are so happy you are back. God Bless to one of the important trio!! hehe!!

Sorry to take so long to respond. Thanks for your sublime assessment and six star review. I am pleased that you understood that I wrote this with such care not to offend our God. I haven't had literary reviews for nearly a year and a half. Yours encouraged my heart.
My wife is pleased to learn of her two "New" Sister-in-laws.

I like your suggestions about God using social media, good point. Excellent writing that makes the reader think. We are in a mess down here and need to focus more God. This is a heartfelt letter to God that reflects how we have abandoned Him and need a return to faith.

Thank You so much for reading and reviewing: "Dear God." I appreciate the Excellent 5 star rating. It is so easy to think we know what should be done. We Don't.
Embrace the Love from Above!
Comment from BethShelby
I delighted to see you decided to write something again. I hope this is only a new beginning. I think God uses all of us who are willing to be his ambassadors here on earth. He will likely take your offer seriously. I'm sure since you mention in your third point that He really does know everything, He knows exactly what a mess we've made of the earth and He knew from the beginning, we would screw it up. Of course, if he does get on social media, I'll be the one who calls Him out on that one. I don't think getting His message out on Satan's favorite land line is His best option, but I did enjoy reading your 10 suggestions for taking points.

Thank You so much for reading and reviewing: "Dear God." I appreciate the Excellent 6 star rating. This was a bit of a mixture of farcical and realism. I run into people who seem to think they KNOW how God should run the world. We know that God is perfect ALL the time. Embrace the Love from Above!
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
It seems like you are asking God to modernise here and get a good PR firm! I smiled at that suggestion. I wish you luck with the contest and I enjoyed your post very much, love Dolly x

I am glad that you had come back to film story, and that you wrote this letter to die. I had wondered where you were I haven't seen you in a while. I too am just stressed by what I see in this world. I wish you the very best in the contest, and may God bless your efforts. Patricia.

Thank You so much for reading and reviewing: "Dear God." I appreciate the Excellent 5 star rating. I was wrapping up my career, retiring, moving, renovating, building and transitioning to writer for Christian men. It's nice to be missed. Thanks for saying so.
