The Faithless

As I drove to church this morning, I was amazed to see the number of people that found something else to do.  People jogging, biking, walking their dogs, going grocery shopping, mowing their yards...to name a few.  I'm sure there were many, many more that chose to simply sleep in that I couldn't see.

What has happened to this world?  How is it that people have grown so faithless that they don't deem it important to give God His due?  The fact that today is absolutely gorgeous should be even more of a reminder that He is awesome.  They take all He gives - His blessings, His gifts - but they can't quit being selfish for just one day to acknowledge what He's done for them.

I can't gripe about everyone, because I'm sure there are people that go to church on Saturday, or Sunday night, or Wednesday night, or some other time.  I'm sure there are people that usually go, but miss every once in a while.  (I'm guilty of that.)  And I'm sure there are extenuating circumstances that prevent some people from getting to church, but sleeping in and mowing your yard are not it.

But since I'm on this soap box, I'd have to say that the most annoying people out there are the ones driving along, ten miles under the speed limit, on a one-lane road, with absolutely nothing to do, and making those of us that are trying to get to church late.
