Yeah, it’s pathetic. I’ve had this blog since the Reagan administration, and haven’t written a thing. Maybe when Chelsie Clinton is in office I’ll post some pictures…get over it and read it!
So, I have officially journeyed to and from the cross, and I have to say that at the end of the week…I’ve seen God!
I became an uncle for the first time on Tuesday morning, and it brought me much greater joy than I had anticipated. As I looked at the freshly text(ed) picture of my niece…I saw God.
As I led worship this week at, what had to be, at least 900 services with the most incredible people on the planet…I saw God.
As I watched droves of people respond to the calling of Christ on Easter morning…I saw God.
On Saturday, when my daughter told me about the boys up the street who were making fun of my son’s hearing aids…I saw God.
When I took my kids to “Amazing Jakes” today, and I played ski-ball till I threw up…I saw God.
Tonight, when I visited a dear friend of mine whose continuation of life is depending on God’s miraculous healing power…I saw God.
The point? When people tell you they just can’t “feel” God in their lives…ask them where they are looking. Remember, God doesn’t always show up in a burning bush. He can also talk through the mouth of a donkey.

First of all: I love everything about this moment of reading your first entry into the blogosphere.
Second: Wow, it really is amazing when I slow down and realize God in all aspects of my life.

This is a great post. Thanks for this reminder, sometimes it gets a little difficult to ’see God’ in all the things around you, especially when you are so caught up in them. For example, logging dozens and dozens of hours building something that so many other people will see God in, that you, just can’t. Have a great week, PA!

that’s so good. we always wait to feel God in this major way that we forget to stop and see Him in the things that are all around us.

One post, and one post only, is truly “Bordering on Arrogance.” Don’t be that guy!
