June 14, 2018 -- Where is my place in the universe?

I may not be the most eloquent person alive or the most intelligent.  That is OK!  I have come to realize that I am only one person among nearly 7.6 billion people alive on the earth.  It has been estimated that 107 billion people have ever lived on earth.  We all live on only one planet that is part of several planets that revolve around the sun, which is itself only one among billions of other stars revolving around a mysterious center in our galaxy, which is itself only one among 100 billion other galaxies that exist in an ever expanding universe.  Sure I feel small!  But, I also believe therefore I speak.  I am aware of You, God Almighty, who lives deep within and beyond all things.  I reverence You who have made the heavens, the earth, and all the waters there in.
