So there, I saw God right there today!
I get really worked up over the various [...]

7 Days of where I saw God today: Day 7

Before I get to the day…
I’m just seeing and hearing about so many people in so much pain. Physical pain that brings in the spiritual. I see God there. I see Him in how they react. I see Him in how family reacts. I see Him in how friends react. And I see Him [...]

7 Days of where I saw God today: Day 5

I ain’t gonna lie… it was hard to see God today. I felt like crap. It was either a strange cocktail of cold medicine from last night or I ain’t done bein’ sick just yet. I think it’s the latter.

I saw Him the face of a father who told [...]

7 Days of where I saw God today: Day 4

I saw God pushing me to stretch the abilities He’s given me and not ignore them anymore. Seeing God like this is not very joyfull at the moment.

I saw [...]

7 Days of where I saw God today: Day 2

I saw Him this morning as I blew right by people at the gym without so much as acknowledging their presence. Sometimes when God’s there it doesn’t feel good. I felt guilt.
I saw Him in my boys. I came home and spent some time wrestling with Mason on our bed. I hit all the tickle [...]
