Where do I see God?

So I am at church right now. I am not kidding. I am actually leading the "service" as I write. See church meets at my house. Every week we share a meal and a bottle of wine together and then discuss a topic, depending on who is leading. Tonight is my turn to lead. So I asked everyone to spend the next 15 to 20 minutes writing a blog entry on where they see God in their life?

Why would I ask a question like that. It seems that too often we fail to use use that see the spiritual. Most people think to much about activity, or work, or the material world and too little about what exists in the spiritual world. I am not even sure it is a good idea to split them up and make them seperate worlds, but that is another subject and debate left to philosophers.

So where do I see God? That is difficult, even for the question asker. It seems that he is often in my conscious. He is the voice that says something is right or wrong. Or is that him or just some upbringing? I think I have often relegated God to ethics or morals. I need something bigger than that. I think I see God in the beauty and tragedy in the lives around me. I see him in art and along the side walk. I see him in desire and hope. I think it is cliche, but it is true. I think when I am longing for something I see him most. So I do my best not to attempt to placate the longing, or kill the longing. But let it lead me to see his face.

It is a good day to discuss the spirtual and material world. For the police are reuniting tonight at the grammy's. Maybe we are spirits in the material world. (Ok cheezy, but I couldn't pass it up.
