Our Daily Bread

A reporter for Life magazine asked Kristi, an Iowa second grader, “Who is God?” She replied, “God makes the weather . . . . He gives us gifts like trees and . . . green grass, but one gift He gave us that I don’t like: that there might be a war.” She continued, “But sometimes God’s sort of not nice because one time He made this machine where you try to get it to grab the stuffed animal. He didn’t give us luck on that, and we spent $4.”
