Dear God,

Please give an extra belly rub to my happy boy when he arrives to your house. Tell him I miss him. He was such a good dog. Thank you for a wonderful fifteen years.

Amen.

Dear God,

It all gets to be too much. If only there were some way to just get a boost. I feel like a need a big engine to push me through. Are you the engine? Am I the engine? Are we all the engine, the big one, that could?

Amen.

Dear God,

Are you there, God? It's me, Middle School. Every day the students come and spend seven hours focused on anything but learning. They judge each other, whispering behind folded hands and pointing when they think I don't see. Giggles slip out when someone leaves a room and hearts break in the hallway. Everything is a Big Deal. Are you there, God? Do you notice when they cry and laugh and blame and lie? I hope you're there. They need you.

Amen

Love Lindsay

Dear God,

Right now, my classroom is orderly, peaceful, ready and waiting for the students to arrive. Please keep an eye on them, as they navigate the maze that is middle school. Please keep an eye on me, as I try to do the same in high heels.

Amen.

Love Lindsay

oh duh

2009-08-16T10:39:00.001-04:00

Dear God,

Sometimes, it's not as complicated as it looks. Sorry I forgot to look for you. Next time, I'll do better.

Amen.

I feel bad for boys. All they can ever hope to be is the icing on the cake. I really can't thank you enough.

Amen

Kudos on the amazing scenery. Where does your imagination end?

Amen.

Dear God,

Perhaps you inspired the editors of these magazines to recycle the same articles each month to avoid the same old redundant prayers...how can I improve my body/skin/makeup/wardrobe/sex life/etc. Maybe people who sit in airports, on beaches, or in dentist office waiting rooms were abusing prayer privileges and you wanted a break from the monotony? You could at least inspire better writing.

Amen.

Love Lindsay

that laffy taffy...

2009-06-06T18:43:00.002-04:00

Dear God,

I think the "take a picture of yourself by extending your arm" idea was invented for moments such as this. It has been a happy new year, you sneaky bastard.

Amen.

Love Linds

Amen.

school's out for summer

2009-05-30T09:27:00.004-04:00

Dear God,

Just think: two whole months without a twelve-year-old asking me for permission to use the bathroom. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the person who decided to let school out in the summer.

Amen.

Love Lindsay

lazy, hazy, crazy daze of summer...

2009-05-20T11:01:00.004-04:00

Dear God,

Whatever twists and turns down the road of fate I had to take to end up living this close to the beach...well...they were so worth it. I knew you had a plan!!

Amen.

Love Lindsay

just a little bit longer

2009-04-29T18:46:00.004-04:00

Dear God,

So beautiful and so pretty and so what's up with them only living for a day or two? Couldn't you maybe grant the butterflies an extension?

Amen.

Love Lindsay

how come?

2009-04-22T22:24:00.002-04:00

Dear God,

Sometimes, the hugs, they hurt.

Amen.

Love Lindsay

say what?

2009-04-19T20:10:00.003-04:00

Dear God,

I really never understood that saying "You can't see the forest for the trees." I am trying to see for a tree? Am I trying to see the forest but the trees are in the way? Aren't the trees the forest itself? Huh? What? Help a sister out!

Amen.

Love Lindsay

Dear God,

I know the Bible doesn't say anything about hell being the place you are sent to complete a mountain of frivolous paperwork, but maybe if you included that, people wouldn't be so quick to break so many of those commandments. Just a suggestion.

Amen.

Love Lindsay

only you

2009-04-16T09:06:00.004-04:00

Dear God,

Sometimes I wonder where you find your inspiration. Creativity is a blessing, indeed. Kudos on the giraffe.

Amen.

Dear God,

It's all so blurry. Sometimes I get so confused. Where do I go? What do I believe? Who do I trust? Don't forget about me.

Amen.

Love Lindsay
Amen

i'll be there for you

2009-04-13T16:07:00.002-04:00

Dear God,

I just spent the weekend with my human best friend, and then got to come home to my canine best friend. They've both been with me since 7th grade - who knew I'd ever be so blessed? Oh. I guess you did. Thanks.

Amen.

Love Lindsay

seasons greetings

2009-04-08T08:00:00.002-04:00

Dear God,

Last week, I saw Spring. My red-head friend declared, "I love Spring. It is now my favorite season. I'm so happy to know that about myself." Thank you for bringing this change in season and this change in my friend. Thank you for making some changes so pretty and so green.

Amen.

Love Lindsay

just wanted to tell you

Dear God,
Wee!!!!!!!!

Amen.

Love Lindsay

you're so sneaky

2009-04-06T20:41:00.000-04:00

Dear God,

Sometimes ordinary things are beautiful from a different angle. Sometimes we take for granted the things we see every day. Please help me see things from any angle, so I can always appreciate what's underneath.

Amen.

Love Lindsay

Dear God,

Please make people stop eating these little guys. Who really needs bacon anyways?

Amen.

Dear God,

Thank you for the person who invented pierogies. Thank you for looking the other way when I stuff my face in moments of pure gluttenous pleasure. Seriously, thank you.

Amen.

Love Lindsay

tee hee

2009-04-03T22:50:00.004-04:00

Dear God,

Sometimes, or really more like, all the time, I laugh at inappropriate things. Inappropriate things like the circular objects seen here. I just can't bring myself to say the word, Lord, because I'll start giggling again.

Amen.

Love Lindsay

the start

2009-04-02T16:29:00.009-04:00

Dear God,

Thanks for the ability to create plans, and the ability to accept when plans fall through. (But, can you maybe make the latter one a little easier?)

Amen.

Love Lindsay
