Where's God?

Where’s God?

Here are some of God’s favorite places to reveal, infuriate and encompass me...

My conversations with those I enjoy.
The anger I feel when the innocent are harmed.
The warmth and loving nature of my atheist friends and acquaintances.
The warm fire I sit beside with a book.
My behind-the-back dribble, with quick, pull-up jumper on the basketball court.
The warmth I feel sitting on a beach in Maui at mid-day.
The soberness I feel sitting in a bar, alone, in any inner-city at 2am.
The song, “I Hope You Dance.”
The song, “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”
My mother’s smile; and her tears.
My father’s “Hello Son!”
Social theories dialogue at Wayne State University.
The wood of the tree fort Dad, I and Quinn built in 2006-2007.
The first time I saw my son smile (could’ve been gas)
The minutes before my father died.
Watching my son help other kids.
My wife’s excitement about traveling to Hawaii.
The smell of her hair.



Whatever I do and am…
