Chris' prayer: Kara's "Sunshine"

God is everywhere. And, as often as I've heard that, and as well as I know that, sometimes I forget it. I tend to pigeonhole God; I expect to find him only in church on Sunday, or during our youth ministry program Sunday night, in a Christian book I'm reading. I'm certain that I miss His presence fairly regularly because I'm not expecting Him to be outside of this neat little box that I've made for Him.

For instance, awhile ago for my church's website, I wrote a blog about my surprise in discovering a new Kirk Franklin song on, of all places, the local rap/hip-hop station. I was just flipping through the stations, trying to find something for the last couple of minutes of my car ride, almost ready to give up and listen to commercials or the new Hanson song, or whatever happened to be playing, when I heard this awesome beat coming from the hip-hop station. I was shocked to find out, a handful of seconds later, when the voice was singing about Jesus. It was just not expected at all.

I felt similarly tonight, when hearing Sunshine for the first time. God can be in....techno music?!
