Lent

I realize that this is no longer Advent but I'm still looking for Jesus in the everyday.  Today this random thought popped into my head "God looks a lot like Abraham Lincoln.  Only without the hat."  See, I could always see God in my imagination and lately I kept thinking who does God look like, I know it's someone only I can put my finger on who it is.  And then this afternoon I realized who it was - Honest Abe.  This is totally irrational, and some might say blasphemous, but somehow I think that God might get a chuckle out of it.  Now, you might be wondering what this has to do with finding Jesus in the everyday - and I guess I would say that I find him inhabitating my unconscious mind, my memories, and my imagination.  I find him when I'm writing my blogs, I find him when just the right word pops into my head, I find him when I stare at a blank page and wonder what on earth am I going to write.  Sometimes that is where I experience him the most.
