White Tailed Deer

Last fall I was driving home and as I came around a corner I saw a herd of deer grazing by the side of the road.  I immediately pulled over and stopped and soon a number of cars had stopped.  People got out of their cars and were taking pictures and talking in low quiet voices.  People were in awe of the sight that was before them.
Why do we stand in awe when we see wild animals or whales but when we come into worship we do not seem to have that same awe?  After all we are coming into the presence of the One who made these beautiful creatures.
