Some days my seven-year-old daughter believes there is a god. Hers is a god of lost pencils and favorite foods. On other days, when said god doesn’t come through to grant a wish, she announces, “I guess I don’t believe in god anymore.”

The author, Dale McGowan, sent this update to those us who contributed articles to Parenting Beyond Belief:
