God is Good...

What is it about speaking freely about our Creator that rubs so many folks the wrong way? Believe me, I am not a 'preachy' kinda gal; yet, I announce, without constraint, my belief in, and, love for, a Higher-Power. This has made me a bit unpopular, amongst some that I know. I find this all rather interesting, to say the least.The collective 'we' seems to have no problem, at all, showing love, devotion, respect, regard, and, idolization, of and for, celebrities of all rank and form, placing people up on pedestals, for their particular performance(s); yet, often, do not include God in this equation. Why is this?  Why is it, also, that many, folks find it easy to spew forth negative, and, hate-filled, commentary and opinions, about anything and everything, and, often, curse like the proverbial sailor, yet,  they wouldn't consider praying, to save their souls? As a society, we seem more concerned with things external; our looks, our 'things', our status. All of these things, of such superficial nature,  which are hyped to be important, yet, are nothing more than a distraction, preventing people from paying attention to the, truly, important, nature of who we are, and, why we're here. Other cultures are deeply rooted in, and, steeped in their beliefs, and, philosophies regarding God; they actively live their lives, espousing this. Our country, as a whole, seems to wish to ignore the reality of Him, making and changing laws to ensure that His presence is disallowed. Hey, whether or not one acknowledges the existence of God, He is here, and, He's paying attention to what we're doing...and, not doing. I, for one, find much comfort in knowing this. And, I'm not afraid, or, ashamed to say so. Just Sayin...
