Everywhere

From Searching For God Knows What by Donald Miller, page 60

"Here is what Kathleen Norris said about those monks:

Although their access to scholarly tools was primitive compared to what is available in our day, their method of biblical interpretation was in some ways more sophisticated and certainly more psychologically astute, in that they were better able to fathom the complex, integrative, and transformative qualities of revelation. Their approach was far less narcissistic than our own tends to be, in that their goal when reading scripture was to see Christ in every verse, and not a mirror image of themselves."

I wonder sometimes where God is, where Christ is. Are they not everywhere? Are they not in everything? How often do you find Them in the least likely of places? I find Them in the least likely of places all the time, like TV, music, and movies. Someday I guess I want a book that shows the world that God and Christ are indeed everywhere and in everything, even just a little bit, especially in the least likely of places, like Heroes, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Bionic Woman, Smallville, even Grey's Anatomy. The list supposedly is endless, is it not, if They are indeed everywhere and are in everything. Where there is bad, there is good. Where there is a shadow, there is light.

So imagine not just seeing Christ in every verse, but everywhere and in everything as well. That sounds pretty amazing to me. And I love these revelations so much I figure so will others. What do you think?
