God is all around us doing God's work

When I was in Los Angeles this summer, I went out into Echo Park across from the diocesan offices and conference center. I saw God. God usually shows up in a burning bush or a descending dove. This time God was dressed as a city sanitation worker. God was wearing an orange vest and was walking over the grass in the park picking up trash and putting it into a bag.

God was doing what God does best. Working to restore paradise while we go through our lives unaware. God is always at work. Unfortunately, we are usually looking for a burning bush or a dove. How comforting to know that even when we don't recognize what is happening, god is working to heal the broken places, to clean-up the messes we make, when we turn away from God.

There was God dressed as a tall black man in an orange sanitation vest. Thank you God for always being on the job.
