Hi, all you kind folks in Readership Land. My name is Angel and I’m a church mouse. I get to see a lot of things most folks are either too busy (or something) to notice. This oldie is now making the e-mail rounds as “Fifth Grade Assignment.”

A fifth grade teacher in a Christian school asked her class to look at TV commercials and see if they could use them in some way to communicate ideas about God.

God is like – Bayer aspirin. He works miracles.

God is like – a Ford. He's got a better idea.

God is like – Coke. He's the real thing.

God is like – Hallmark cards. He cares enough to send His very best.

God is like – Tide. He gets the stains out that others leave behind.

God is like – General Electric. He brings good things to life.

God is like – Sears. He has everything.

God is like – Alka-Seltzer. Try Him, you'll like Him.

God is like – Scotch tape. You can't see Him, but you know He's there.

God is like – Delta. He's ready when you are.

God is like – Allstate. You're in good hands with Him.

God is like – VO-5 hair spray. He holds through all kinds of weather.

God is like – Dial soap. Aren't you glad you have Him? Don't you wish everybody did?
