Actress Kristin Chenoweth, known for her roles in “The West Wing” and “Pushing Daises,” as well as her extensive work on stage (most notably as Glinda in Broadway’s “Wicked”) has a new book out April 14, “A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love, and Faith in Stage.” In it, the outspoken Christian details a list of questions she’d like to ask God. Here is the list, reprinted with permission from Touchstone, a Division of Simon & Schuster, Inc.
Post your thoughts about the list in the comments area below–and feel free to add the questions you’d like to ask God
Questions for God When I Meet Him
By Kristin Chenoweth
• Who killed JonBenét? And does she pretty much own the pageant circuit up here?
• Did Marilyn kill herself or was it a Kennedy?
• Did Lee Harvey Oswald really act alone?
• Seriously…was it the cookies?
• Why is forgiveness so dang hard?
• Why is slapstick so dang funny?
• Who is the sadistic genius behind cellulite? Lord, please tell me you did not have anything to do with that.
• Does restless legs syndrome actually exist? And is there something about it that compels the person to sit in the front row?
• How on earth (or elsewhere) do you keep track of everyone?
• Why would someone go to all the trouble it takes to be a serial killer? Is there always some kind of Sweeney Todd backstory?
• Where are the mates to most of my socks?
• Why did Mom have to battle cancer twice? Seriously. Once was more than enough.
• Does sugar cause cancer? And if not, what does?
• Does sugar cure cancer? And if not, what does?
• Why do so many people find homosexuality scarier than war?
• What if you made it so that hate would cause hemorrhoids? Just an idea.
• Do you have Leonard Bernstein’s cell number? I need to talk to him right away. Also, Puccini. And Ethel Merman.
• And one more thing, Heavenly Father. Are you proud of me?

I loved her on Pushing Daisies and West Wing. She has a Broadway presence in everything she does.
This queston alone, “Why do so many people find homosexuality scarier than war?” may make this book worth reading. But the last question is th eultimate one for so many of us. And we all wait for the answer.

I think that when I get to meet God; I am going to ask a lot better questions than that. Like, Why do so many good people die and all the molesters, murderers and other types of really bad people get to live and continue doing the bad stuff they do?

I love her!!! My favorites were:
• Why would someone go to all the trouble it takes to be a serial killer? Is there always some kind of Sweeney Todd backstory?
• Where are the mates to most of my socks?
• Why do so many people find homosexuality scarier than war?
• Do you have Leonard Bernstein’s cell number? I need to talk to him right away. Also, Puccini. And Ethel Merman.
and the last one. Because that’s the most important.

Yes, there are Christian actors!
Actually, I think when we get to Heaven, we won’t care about all our questions. We will be so in awe…totally healed of everything, no more worries or cares….the questions will just fade away and we’ll enjoy what God has prepared for us!
Easter Sunday was amazing! Thank you, Jesus!

I’m sure eternity will allow us plenty of time for us to ask questions and for Him to answer.

and glory?

Lord, why is it sooo hard NOT to be lustful and sensual? And, why are there mental illnesses like bipolar disorder that make me feel like Paul – “That which I do not want to do, I do; and those I want to do, I do not.” It’s not easy fighting against the bipolar (which seems to have a will of its own). All I ask is to make me whole again.

I would tell the LORD thank-you very very very much for having me as one of your children.I tried my best for you and I hope I will spend my eternity with THEE and I made you a proud son.

I KNOW that we won’t have to wonder about SO many questions that we have. We’ll be SO in awe of everything in Heaven to care. At the SAME time it would be SO cool to find out the answers to SO many questions we have. For me, sometimes I’ll get a tune in my mind, & start humming it. BUT, I won’t know if I made up the tune, or if it is from something. Sometimes, a sound or a tune will come in my mind, but I KNOW that the one I am remembering is from a LONG time ago, & I am remembering it differently that the ORIGINAL sound/tune. I have asked God a LONG time ago to start a “Lore of Knowledge”, so that when I have a question, I ask Him to add it to my Lore of Knowledge. If He DOES have a Lore of Knowledge ready for me when I get to Heaven, I’ll have eternity to hear everything on it. If not, at least it gets it off my mind for a while, & I am able to move on with my daily activities, uninterrupted.

I am reminded of Revelations 14:13 that says, “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.” I’ve got to make sure that when I die, I die IN the Lord. I know that if we search the scriptures we will find the answers to the mysteries of life and anything we don’t find contained in God’s word He will surely reveal to us. He knows that we have questions (Psalm 44:21 Shall not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Daniel 2:28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets…) Many people struggle with the “Why Lord” questions in their hearts, but it is more important to admonish them to accept Jesus as their personal savior so they can understand the answers and receive eternal life. Today we are so close to the answers and time is running out on this side of heaven. Get saved and let God do the rest.

God, Ive always been clairvoyant, medium and empathic, why did I not have more quidance when I was younger so I could have helped more people, under your love and direction? Why are people so judgemental and hateful instead of loving and accepting of those they are afraid of whether a different faith, purple skin, gay or anything else that is different beyond themselves? I dont understand why those that proclaim to be so righteous, in your name, make up their own commandments, instead of following yours? such as love your brother, so simple but changed to love your brother if he/she is the same as you in religion or color or sexual preference, or looks normal, in their definition..why have those that are greedy been made to appear more powerful here on earth? It is hurts so many.
Why do I have horrible bad hair days, no matter how many weird products I try? Why is sex not beautiful but considered evil? why are men and women mutilated for our benefit of what we are comfortable with? Why dear god, are we not using solar power or electrical power or hover craft instead of destroying so much of nature? I guess lastly I dont understand why people have made up a social caste system to make some acceptable and others not? Im not talking about manners here but like if your not wearing the right shoes or shirt, what the heck is that all about and why is it here?
Do you hear every single prayer god? Do people thank you enough or just ask for stuff? Where did we go wrong with medical inventions such as cancer, cold and more serious illness preventions? And God where are we going wrong with our governments and rulers? Big boo boos there.
The question was asked about where our socks mates go, which I thought there might be a sock heaven, well how come one sock always wears out faster then the other? And what do our pets think of us, do they pray to you too?

I had to laugh at some of her questions to God! Especially the one about cellulite! Funny!
I don’t have any questions for God (at the moment). I just have thanks for so much kindness.

This is a cute article…cellulite is not a part of God’s gift to us. We should use our body as a temple.
