The 'Everything' Question

What's the answer to everything secular?
Money.
What's the answer to everything for certain in life?
Death, and taxes.
What's the answer to everything relating to school?
Yeah, don't have money for that.
What's the answer to everything church-related?
Jesus. More often than not anyway.

But out of those four aforementioned questions, what's the answer we want to give most of the time? Probably whatever we know will please people. Since they're in the here and now, and we have them to more readily answer to.

What many of us (OH SO many of us forget) is that God is ALSO in the here and now. C'mon. He CREATED the here and now. Don't we owe him a little more respect? Shouldn't we give "the great I AM" a bit more often as the answer to all those 'everything' questions?

I'm trying to. In many ways, it's proving a challenge. But at the end of the day, I'd still rather try to live for God than give up all together.
