In Youth Basketball

When...coaching a youth basketball team. At one point, one kid triped another accidently and both were rolling on the floor laughing hysterically. I didn't really get it...but didn't need to, because there's just something magical about kids laughter.

Today I saw God in kids having fun playing basketball.

When Watching an ESPN clip

When, hearing the story of Donald Driver of the Green Bay Packers. He spent his life in a uhaul truck, moving between hotel rooms, sleeping on the street, and scrapping by with little food and no security. He's now a star receiver on one of the NFL's hottest teams. He turned his family's fortune around, and with tears coming down his face he admits that he's nothing without his family, and nothing without God.

Today I saw God when he turned around an entire family's fortunes with one man's faith.

In a passionate praiser

When...at church. A moderately obnoxious guy was VERY passionate during the singing (he almost hit me in the face twice with his arm raising)... but God made me remember that that's a great thing, that being on fire isn't a bad thing...even if it doesn't almost hit you in the face.

Today I saw God in a man with his hands waiving in the air.

In a Football Stadium

When...watching a football game. Sports fans are just crazy, even when your team is losing. I like how sports relates to faith...win, or lose, we should be just as passionate about our faith.

Today I saw God in a packed football stadium...even when losing, a bit like heaven on Earth.

In a Pudget Sound sunset

When...I was lucky enough to randomly be standing by a window in a skyscrapper in downtown Seattle overlook Pudget Sound at 6:45pm...as the last of the sun was setting. It was gorgeous. I'd missed most of the color, but there were still hints of orange and red over the dark black water.

Nice painting Jesus.

In a friend returning home

When...my friend came home from abroad, and it was fun to talk with him again.

Today I saw God in friendship.

In warmth

When...walking to grab some quick dinner, since nothing was in my fridge. I figured I'd run in the shorts and long sleeve shirt I was wearing to keep warm...but it was quite pleasant outside, a beautiful fall day with a nearly full moon on the horizon against a blue sky...gorgeous.

Thanks God, for breaking up the rainy Seattle days with some warmth
