I think God sometimes makes Himself known in the funniest ways.
I find myself this morning in the lobby of The Georgia Gameday Center, billed as a sports condominium. I'm helping my daughter with a project in Athens, GA and her company has rented a suite in the building. As you can imagine, you cannot look in any direction without seeing the famous "G" and every representation of Georgia Bulldog sports that one can imagine.
As I'm staring at a wall mural of red G's etched into stainless steel, my feet resting on a carpet with a giant G, I remember seeing the Bulldog football coach in a movie, Facing the Giants. Playing himself in the movie, he attends the state championship game between the Christian school underdog and a rival powerhouse. In the story, the Christian school coach played under Coach Richt, and they met in the locker room before the big game. Coach Richt praised Coach Taylor (movie name) for winning the big one, that is, mentoring the team to play all of life for God.
In Wikipedia, Coach Richt is quoted, "Throughout all of life I try to live by Colossians 3:23: And whatever you do, do heartily as to God and not to men.
So, unexpectedly, I have met God through a remembrance (the movie--it is the movie I have watched more than any for inspiration, by the way), the public God-stance of a fellow sojourner (Coach Richt), and a thousand G's that, if I go there, could remind me of another "G" I know.
Wonder if letting all these G's remind me of God makes Him smile.
