Do you really believe you can make a voice that can drown out God’s? Do you really believe you can devise a thought system that can separate you from Him? Do you really believe you can plan for your safety and joy better than He can? T-5.VII.1.:1-3

There is a joke, “If you want to hear God laugh, tell God your plans.” We can blank out God, but God is still there. If you don’t like the word “God” substitute the word “Life.” People say, “I don’t believe in God,” but it is rare to hear a person say, “I don’t believe in life.”
In Unitarian Universalism we covenant together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning, and this search takes us eventually back to an awareness of our Transcendent Source without which we would not even have the life to engage in the search.
Today it is suggested that we take a few minutes and reflect on the fact that we have been given life and consider its purpose. Why were we born?
