You have your Bible's turn with me to Genesis chapter one and Psalm 139. The message today is entitled

U B U, U B, and today I want to share with you two spiritual truths that have absolutely changed by life.

Two spiritual truths that have set my world on fire.

And I have been so excited and anxious just to come and share this message with you.

Some of you know that I was raised Catholic and a good Catholic family, one of seven children, because in my Catholic Archdiocese, if you didn't have at least five kids, they didn't consider you Catholic, really.

And I remember as a small child, because I was an altar boy for all of those and I remember going to Catholic school and in

Catholic school as a first grader, one of my first real images of God was formed and several times during the week we would have mass as part of our school day

and remember as a six-year-old sitting in this grand cathedral at Holy Ghost Catholic Church

with the marble and the gold and the incense and the candles and the statues and that tall ceiling several stories high and on that ceiling the size of at least this ceiling was a painting, a round mural,

and it was a portrait of God. And God was there in his long white flowing robe as it blew in the wind.

And he had long white flowing hair and it too was blowing in the wind.

And he had his foot on top of the earth, which was very small at his foot.

In Isaiah 66 in verse 1, the Bible says that the earth will be his footstool.

And so he had this image of God in a long white flowing robe and long white flowing

pair with the earth as his foot stool.

And as a small child, a six yearyear-old, I had two thoughts.

The first thought was, I didn't know that there was wind and outer space.

That was news to me.

The second thought, I think, was perhaps a little more profound. I thought to myself as a six-year-old I thought to myself as a six-year-old I thought if

God is that big and the earth is that small I mean if God is really that big and the earth is

really that big and the earth is that small in comparison to God

and I know I'm but a speck on that earth then there's no way that God knows who I am.
