The Man Upstairs, The Big Guy

Prompt: Chris asked if calling God, The Man Upstairs or The Big Guy shows disrespect?

No. If you sincerely believe in God and love him and worship him, calling him The Man Upstairs or The Big Guy isn't being disrespectful. It tells others you know he is in charge and he is the one and only God you answer, too. A boss on earth at a job is your boss there but not the boss of anything else where God is concerned. The Man Upstairs has authority and means everything. He is our idol. We worship him. We remember he is upstairs watching out for us. He's got this. I remind myself everyday as I pray to him. He is the man and my God.
