"I Wonder What They Think of Jesus ..."

"I Wonder What They Think of Jesus ..." Jody pondered as we watched crowds of people walking by when we stopped for supper at the Paramount sidewalk cafe.  As people strolled by I wondered what they were living for.  Many may know Jesus, many don't.

I am reading through the book of Job in the Bible and I'm at the end, where Elihu talks about God revealing Himself in the storms.  It seems so often that God is like that guy playing on the green piano at the right of this photo behind the woman in the red shirt.  For all I know, he's playing amazingly well ... I can't hear him from where I sit because of all the noise of the people walking by and the College football game being played on 100 TV sets in the cafe we are sitting in.  All the noise drowns out the Piano Player.  I wonder if he's an angel playing for the poor man sitting on the park bench behind him.  The Piano Player is so much like God in this world we live in ... all the noise and rush and stuff we do more often than not exalts ourselves or our interests but drowns out God.  I hope I can hear Him playing today.  I pray He would attune my ear ...
