I saw God at work today. I was making sales calls with my new boss and decided to make an extra stop to say hello to an old client and friend. He worked in a different location than the person I was going to visit next. While I was saying hello, my friend let me know that the [...]

Saw God at Jaws Jumbo Burgers
Tonight my wife and I took our kids to Jaws Jumbo Burgers for dinner. It is a small, casual restaurant in a strip mall that our kids have been asking to go to for some time. Our oldest son LOVES sharks so this was a real treat for him. The restaurant had shark paraphernalia everywhere [...]
Saw God in a Stray Dog
One of my sales reps drove in to Michigan from New York this week to spend a couple days at the home office. When he arrived this morning, he was carrying a dog in a crate—keep in mind our business is not a kennel or veterinary clinic, rather a financial services group. He claimed that [...]
Saw God in Grace Before Lunch
The other day, I met a man for lunch that I had only met briefly a couple of months ago. We had serious business to talk about as our respective organizations were in the middle of a dispute. Although we greeted each other cordially, I must admit that my stomach was in knots anticipating that [...]
Saw God in a Job
This past April I heard you speak while attending mass at St. Isadore’s in Macomb Township. Days previous to that my husband was let go from his firm. I emailed saying that I saw God in my husband’s job loss because I knew that there was something better out there for him and our family. [...]
Saw God Despite No Job
Interestingly enough I saw God through an interview that didn’t produce a job. After finding out my husband’s job is being cut to 1/2 time I had a pretty serious, surrendering conversation w/God. The next day I got a call for an interview. I was sure it was God talking back. When I didn’t get [...]
Saw God in a Friendly Face
Every morning, I walk from the parking garage the block or so to my office. Every day my mind is racing ahead to all the things on my “to do” list as I make this walk. Often I’m tired from a night up with my five month old. Sometimes I’m stressed as I contemplate a [...]
Saw God in a Cup of Coffee
I was in Atlanta today for some business meetings. When one my associates picked me up from the hotel this morning I opened the door of her car to see a large cup of Dunkin’ Donuts piping hot, world class coffee awaiting me. What a gesture! My day was made and it was only 7:00 AM! Nothing like [...]
Saw God ‘Working on a Dream’
I recently started a new job with a startup company in a tumultuous industry. I was driving home from work last week—overwhelmed, confused and pondering just how we are going to make it over the hump. The song ‘Working on a Dream’ (below) came on the radio as I pulled into my neighborhood. I sat [...]
Saw God in My Cubicle
I have worked in the same office cube for the past 9 years. When I first started in this office, my son was 6 months old and my daughter was 2. Throughout those 9 years, I have continued to bring in new pictures of the kids, to decorate the walls of my cube. But I’ve [...]
