Note to God

So I got this app a few days ago, after hearing about it in some news article or another, called "Note to God". You can put in your own notes, which go into a database somewhere, and you can read the notes other people put in there. (It's all anonymous of course).

So I looked at it today, and read a few of the notes. I'm not sure what I was expecting. A lot of them are rather banal (there were at least two asking for help finding their car keys), and some show an amazing level of self-absorption. Others are actually moving. And some just kind of rip your heart out, such as:

Dear God,

Please help me not to react badly when kids at school call me names. Sometimes when they push me down in the hall I just want to get back up and hit them but I know that's not right.

And help me not to hate my sunday school teacher who told me not to come to church anymore because I'm a sinner.

Maybe I am a sinner, but don't sinners need church more than anybody? Please help me not to hate everybody. And to not be a sinner anymore.
