Finding God in Unexpected Places

If you were asked to describe the last time you encountered God, what would you say? Some people think God prefers to keep a distance. Others assume God must show up with a lot of fanfare. But what if God takes a different approach entirely-turning up in many places, but all the while keeping a low profile?
