Do we need to change the name? I am open to suggestions. I chose it because sometimes I must sit back and reflect how God is working in different situations.
Today I was reminded of the scene in the movie Bull Durham where several members of the team walked up to the pitching mound and were holding up the game. They weren't playing well because they were worried about getting wedding gifts, a father who was in attendance, and a cursed glove. Finally, the assitant coach walks up to the mound and asks what was going on. After explaining the situation, Crash concludes with, "We're dealing with a lot of crap." (He uses a different word, but I'll be nice).
For some reason, that is how I felt today. I was looking up at the heavens and saying, "Help us Lord, we are dealing with a lot of crap down here."
These are my theological musings so I hope someone else posts on this page... Tracy

Of course the name doesn't need to be changed. Simply asking rhe question is one of the greatest affirmations of faith that exists! For me the question where is God in this? is an invitation to slow down and look more carefully. It's like when I'm hiking in the woods with the kids, slowing down to be more open to what is around me, searching the shadows of the underbrush to catch a glimpse of one of God's special gifts. Asking the question is the reminder that God is present, and if present then active and that means hooray, I'm not lost or forgotten or abandoned, just perhaps looking in the wrong direction or following the wrong signs. Peace out.
