Bob and I are trying to do a "buy local" Lent as we often end up going to the big box stores 10-15 miles away instead of the mom & pop stores that are much closer. But we don't know a lot of the local stores so yesterday we decided to explore Ridgefield a little more. We have gone down Main st, but there is an entire shopping area beyond so we walked up and down the street visiting a chocolate shop, a quilt store and a cheese and wine store among others. One of the workers at the cheese and wine shop was so passionate about her job and the pairing of cheese with either beer or wine. I saw God in this woman as she was living out her vocation.
And earlier in the day I saw God in a funny conversation with one of the children of the congregation. During Worship Together, I was explaining that it is now Lent and we are preparing for Easter. As we put together a puzzle of a cross this was the conversation:
Me: What happened on the cross?
A: Jesus rose from the dead
Me: Not quite, Jesus died on the cross, but he rose from the dead three days later
Kids: cool
Me: Have you heard of anyone coming back to life after being dead three days?
A & D: No
D: but zombies, they come back from the dead!
HAHAHA! Ahh Zombie Jesus! Love it!

BTW I responded something about how Jesus rose from the dead and zombies are really still dead.
