While driving to work this morning, I was thinking out loud and talking to God (thankfully I have tinted windows) and asked myself, where is God right now. I mean when I fast, study the bible and meditate I can sense His presence or sometimes at church I can tell He is there but while driving to work or under my car I really can’t tell if He is there or not. So, I am driving to work and I asked myself where was God. I stopped at the red light, looked beyond the street signs, beyond the power lines and into the sky as the sun starts to peep from behind the morning clouds and I realized God is always a constant, it is me that is relative. I travel through this life (often at a high rate of speed) and it seems that God is always moving but really it depends on my perspective. The sun is always shining behind the dark clouds of the day and beyond the shadow of dusk. I asked God where He was and He told me “I’m right here Scott”.

If I go up to the heavens, you are there. If I lie down in the grave, you are there. If I rise with the sun in the east and settle in the west beyond the sea, even there you would guide me. With your right hand you would hold me. -Psalm 139:8-10

I wanted to confront everyone involved—until I turned to the Lord in prayer. Running errands, I stewed, my anger growing with every step. […]

Thank you for the thorn Lord.

While nothing will ever pale in comparison to the trials Paul went through, I can relate in a small way to what he was talking about in the book of Corinthians. I have this part of my life that I want to make disappear but not only am I in a position where I must embrace it […]

The Darkness of light.

How dark must the black be before the blindness of the day’s light fades, and I open my eyes? Each day, I walk into the next, oblivious to life—one step closer to death. Only in the deepest sorrow and pain is hope found… is hope sought. How long will my cries go unanswered, unheard? Deep […]
