Is God sacred or secular?

God is so "secular", present, tangible, and immanent, that "the whole earth is full of His glory" (That's the vision that's given to the prophet Isaiah when he makes a visit to the temple one day to ponder the lost of Israel's last king). And if this is so, then every morning when I awake, from the moment that I take my first conscious breath, I can inhale with as much of a sense of the sacredness of God as if I were kneeling before the altar of some great cathedral. And when get up out of the bed and take my first step, as with the ground that Moses stood on in the shadow of the burning bush, I, too, am standing on Holy Ground.

As I move through my day, I can choose to remain conscious of God's "everywhere-ness" and "everyplace-ness", and even in the places, people, and problems, and things that seem to be the ugliest, most defiled, most unholy, and most hopeless, some how and some way, God is "around" working His plan to redeem, deliver, and transform. And if I watch closey, and patiently, I just might catch a glimpse of the Mystery.
