Where is God?

Now here's a question for you: Where is God?
Depending on the persons responding, the answers may be very different.
Some might say that God is everywhere, that is, He is in the trees and rocks and in you and me.
Others might also say that God is everywhere, but that it means that He is transcendent and omnipresent, not limited to any one time or place.
Some might say that God is in the church, meaning the church buildings. You go there to feel close to Him, to talk to Him or to hear from Him.
Then there are the provocative sort who would say that God is found in the oddest of places. Well, would you think to find God in this column? Check out one of Neil Crone's columns here: http://newsdurhamregion.com/news/opinion/columns/article/90820
You can read Neil's column every week in the News Advertiser. I don't know exactly what Neil thinks of God. I do think I have an idea regarding what God thinks of Neil.
What about you?
Here's an assignment for you: look for God in Neil's column. Better yet, be on the lookout for evidence of God at work in the whole News Advertiser.
I'd be happy to see your conclusions!
Blessings,
David
