If you knew God would answer . . . what would you ask?

Postcards to God, a project initiated by Family Life Network’s GodTalk team, invites Canadians to give voice to their spiritual wonderings, whether those are “personal, playful, or profound.”

Headed by David Balzer and Melissa McEachern, co-hosts of GodTalk radio (heard Sunday evenings on a Winnipeg radio station), the team has been distributing postcards at live events and through direct mail.

The project is the first phase of a new interactive website featuring podcasts, live chat, contests, and video.

Balzer and McEachern say they have been stunned by the depth and intimacy of the responses.

“The majority have been asking God the classic question of ‘why suffering?’ ” says McEachern, “but there is something greater going on: people are personalizing it.”

A response such as one ranting at God for being “a miserable failure” (see postcards at right) isn’t easy to read, says Balzer, “but it’s worth listening to.”

For our listening – and pondering – here are some of the postcards to God.
