I see God all around me ~~ I experience God in the morning light, in the dancing branches of tree outside my window and in the light of the sun and the warmth of God on my face as the sun shines through that window. I see God in the clouds, the blue sky and rugged mountains on the drive to work. Throughout my day I see him in the faces of the children and of others around me, both the beloved and the unfamiliar. And on the drive home I see God again in the glorious colors of red, gold, and orange in the setting sun. I've experienced the awesome power of God in the crashing waves on the beach and in the tender embraces of my grand children. Today I even experienced God in the giant brushes, the foam on my windshield, the rinsing waters and roaring blowers of the drive-through car wash and I recognized God's generosity in sharing his creativity and his gifts of intelligence, ingenuity and inventiveness with those who have made life easier for all of us. And as I realized, once again, that if we open our hearts and minds to him, God is all around us and ever-present to us, in the ordinary and extraordinary ~ and I smiled! - Ronnie Sunderman
