Mystery Credits

I remember once when I was only about six years old, wondering how God could possibly get into all the churches at once every Sunday, and I asked my Mom. "Why" she said "God is everywhere."

I was I admit a little scared at this. If LORD FATHER JESUS GOD was everywhere, then could I visit the lavatory without being spied on ? Mom explained to me that although we all sin, repenting sinners have nothing to fear from a loving God.

But if He was everywhere, then wasn't he really big ? Too big to fit into church ? And how come He can be that big and also get in the lavatory ? The logic of a six-year-old is a whirring machine.

Mom took me aside and said something to me then, which I now know to be a quote from Evelyn Underhill:

If God were small enough to be understood, He would not be big enough to be worshiped.

It's not the size of God that matters, it's the Love of God. From that time on, I prayed so hard whenever I went to answer nature's call, and you know I believe that is one prayer that has been answered, for I have never had a worry that I will be interrupted from that day to this, whatever the scale of my ablutions. And further, I am now lucky enough through doing His work to be able to sit on an electrically heated seat with a powered paper dispenser and warm air hand drier.

I love you all with my bursting heart of flame in this special festive time of joy.
