While my Sunday school theology wants to affirm that God is everywhere, both Scripture and experience bring that foundational “truth” into question. And honestly, I am more than a little uncomfortable. I have leaned on the idea that there is nowhere God would reject. That God would be present in everything and everywhere. And also, to return to the song that started this whole mess, I am certain that Jesus is present in LA. And again from stories of experiences of others, sometimes it is exactly at the bottom of bottle where Jesus is found, because that is sometimes the desperate place where someone finally turns and seeks their savior. And that is the rub. The question is not whether God would be present somewhere. The question is whether we want God to be present there or not.
