Silly but true: as a kid, I thought God’s name was Peter. I kept mishearing in church when the vicar said: “Thanks be to God.”
Have a lovely week everyone.

Rather like Noel Coward who asked a waiter what was the unpleasant thing on his plate, and was told “its a piece of cod sir”. Coward replied that it was a “piece of cod that passeth all understanding”.
As in ‘Peter God’?! Haha!
I had a friend who thought the minister was God.
I thought God was an owl because I saw a picture of an owl in a book of Bible stories and I suppose I must have thought it looked sort of God-like.
Haha!
And there’s the old “Our Father, who Art in Heaven, Howard be thy name.”
