How Aware Are You?

In our limited human language, we have used many images to attempt to describe God: an old white man with a beard, a dove, a pillar of fire, a gentle whisper.  Here’s a new one: God is like a moonwalking bear.

Let me explain.

But first, if you haven’t seen it yet, you need to watch this YouTube video:

God is always present in our lives, but we often fail to see him.  We are too distracted by the many details and concerns of life.  We get caught up on counting how many times the basketball gets passed.  God is the moonwalking bear, and when we notice him we can’t help but break into a smile.
