SOMETIMES GOD ….
Sometimes God hides in the corner
of a dark bedroom when we stub
our toe at 3:11 in the morning.
Sometimes God is like ear wax
when our ears are all filled up
and we can’t find a cue tip.
Sometimes God is sitting right there
with the whole family at Thanksgiving
Dinner and everyone is there except ….
Sometimes God is there at the ocean
and it’s early morning and the sun is
about to slide above the horizon.
Sometimes God is back on the cross:
so and so has cancer, so and so’s
marriage is breaking up and I’m hurting.
Sometimes God is in the letter O in
loneliness and the letter I in indifference
and the letter U when you rejected me.
Sometimes God is invisible - in the wind
and in the sound of dripping water and
in the door that just won’t open.
Sometimes God is in a horrible sermon
or a confusing Bible Text or in a prayer
that just doesn't do it for this moment.
