I used to believe…

When I was a child (up untill about age 12) when we would say the blessing at the dinner table, the prayer would go "let us thank him for our food", i always thought that it went "lettus thank us for this food", it made sense to me, since we were eating, and it said "lettus"

I thought my mum was a nun.

When I was little, my father (Tweedle Lee) had said something to my half-brother (Tweedle Fee) about God coming down and doing something that concerned Fee (I don't remember what). Since I didn't/don't know what God looks like, I just imagined this big, white cross suddenly flying down from the sky and just hovering by our house. I know usually think of him as some huge white robed figure that sits on a gigantic chair, and his face is some sort of blur.

I used to believe that God lived on top of the clouds. The first time I was in a plane, i spend the entire 4 hour flight scanning the clouds hoping to see him.

When I was little I used to write notes to my boyfriend, put them in my closet and pray to god to give the note to the boy. I was kind of dissapointed when the note was still in the closet the next day. I still don't know where I got the idea that god was some sort of mailman.

After Sunday School, we would attend "regular" church. The preacher would pass the collection plate for "God's Work." I always believed that our preacher went up to heaven every Sunday afternoon to give the money to God.

As a child I would hear the the hymn, "The Old Rugged Cross". When it stated, "my trophies at last I lay down", I had mental images of people laying sports trophies on their sides and I couldnt figure out why they wanted to do that.

I am one of those people who think they are always right. Well i have been a Christian, gone to church all my life, and went to a Christian School until recently. Well a year or two ago my mother and i were talking about an organ donation that a man had went through. (He had to give up one of his lungs.) Well i said, "Did he live?" My mom-of course-answered yes, and asked why he would have died. Well i had believed my whole life that when God made man, he took a lung out of him rather than a rib. My mom had to get her Bible out and prove to me that i was wrong.

When my dad was young, he used to sing "Gladly, the Cross I'd Bear" in church. He thought the lyrics he was singing were about a cross-eyed bear named "Gladly."
