I guess I'm always surprised by those who are very adamnant about not serving the Lord.  They like to tell you exactly how they feel, how you should talk to them, how you should even respect the god (notice, little 'g') that they serve, and yet they are so vocal about all their beliefs, but don't want you to intrude or voice your belief system. 

How narrowminded some people are.  Having been a Christian and still one, serving the Lord for over 20 years now, I can tell you without a doubt, my life is better, my marriage is better, my health is better, absolutely everything is better, because I serve a 'too much' God.  He has healed me from cancer, He has prospered me spirit, soul, and body, and He gave me a son that the doctors said I'd never be able to have. 

I remember all too well what is was like not being saved, not serving the Lord.  Every day I was in the middle of strife, sick from time to time, not happy in my marriage, not at peace in any way.  I was manic depressive and should have been on medication, but wasn't and it affected anyone I was around.  My ups, my downs, my thoughts in turmoil.

I am so thankful to the Lord every day, every minute of every day, for all that He has brought me through.  I cannot even imagine my life without Him and I never have to.  I am so thankful to live in a country founded on the Lord.  But it's so sad that so many places you go, they push God away at every opportunity that they have, yet are upset and blame Him for every single thing that they believe is wrong in their life and in this country.

I love the Lord with all that is in me and I serve a most faithful God.  I'm not moved by what people say around me, I am moved only by what the Lord reveals to me daily.  I thank you Lord for saving me, setting me free, getting my feet out of the miry clay, and blessing me constantly, through your Word, and through my time with You.
