Who is Rod Flanders?

Rod prays often, first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. He prays for God to watch over him and his little brother, Todd . He prays for the success of his father's business. He also prays for all of the naughty little boys and girls, like his neighbor Bart Simpson , who are too bad to pray for themselves. Aside from praying, Rod enjoys playing wholesomely with his brother and eating lots of "Nachos, Flanders-Style" (cucumbers with cottage cheese). His one regret is that he cannot pray at school. His favourite song is "Bringing in the Sheaves", followed closely by "Noah and the Arky-arky" and "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart".
