Sometimes it seems like God is difficult to find and impossibly far away. We get so caught up in our small daily duties and irritations that they become the only things that we can focus on. What we forget is that God's love and beauty are all around us, every day, if only we would take the time to look up and see them.

Matthias

To believe in God or in a guiding force because someone tells you to is the height of stupidity. We are given senses to receive our information within.
