Good News/Better News

“There is good news and there’s better news – the good news is that there is a God.  The better news is that it’s not you!”         James Martin

I am not sure which is worse, just plain forgetting there is a God or thinking that I am He/She.  Reluctantly, I admit to both.  Neither failure of mine makes sense of course.  In fact, both defy the ample empirical proof.  Life, certainly life as I know it, is full of evidence that there is a God.  My frequent mistakes in life are certainly ample evidence that I am not God.  Still, I seem to forget one or both of those points from time to time.  In that sense, I guess, “Thank You” (in response to the many blessings God showers me with) and “Duh!” (exclaimed after yet another mistake I make) are powerful reminders of God’s existence  as well as genuine forms of prayer.
