Less Spectating; More Seeking

Warning: Don't read. It's religious.

Have you ever thought about how often we talk about God? If I think about it, I probably couldn't tell you the last time I had a God conversation with most of my friends. Which, at first thought, doesn't seem like such a big deal. Afterall, being a Christian doesn't mean you have to talk about God 24/7 any more than talking about God 24/7 makes you a Christian. But, at the same time, I think that part of pointing to God in everything we do is acknowledging Him in open conversation. Not all the time. Not in a planned way. Just when we feel It. I'm so afraid of the perils of lukewarmness.

On a similar note, I had one of my huge train of thought moments tonight (Heather knows all about the crazy things my mind comes up with in my spare time). You're all going to think I'm crazy, but I was thinking about how cool it would be if there was something we said everytime we felt God. Like when you're amazed at the beauty of a rainbow. Or you hear a miraculous story of a life saved. Or when someone says or does something and you know that you've just looked into the eyes of Jesus.

Then I thought that, sometimes, speaking ruins these moment. So an action, I thought, would be a perfect signal to acknowledge God moments. Something natural. Like putting your hand to your heart.

And then I thought . . . a smile.

Yesterday, Today, and Always, I smile when I feel God.
