Deep Thoughts......by Tom Buckley

Man, am I a nerd! I told this to my wife this morning and she just shook her head and walked away.

So every morning, I pretty much have the same routine. I get up, head to my office, check email, read some scripture and then pray. That way I'm a bit more awake for my prayer time and if there was anything in email that requires more thought I can bring it up during prayer time.

So this morning as I began to pray, I began by jokingly mentioning that maybe I should email this stuff to God so he is first rather than after email. Immediately after that (and here's the nerd connection....don't miss this!) I started wondering about what domain God would be in.

The easy answer of course is heaven.org. God@heaven.org and be done with it. But that doesn't quite cut it, does it? God tells us in Isaiah 66:1 that heaven is his throne. By the same token earth.org doesn't cut it either since the same passage tells us Earth is his footstool. Universe, cosmos, space...they are are unsatisfying since they are created and don't really embody where God is. Oh, we can see Him by looking at the creation, but a domain name is about who you are...where to go to find you.

Then I remembered one of the names God gave Himself 'I AM.' Exodus has the story of God telling Moses to let the Israelites know that 'I am has sent me to you' and that did it. I bet God's email address is God Not held down by a domain name or constrained by our rules, His email is just...God.
