Friday morning, the first song in the morning’s shuffle was Toad the Wet Sprocket’s “Is It for Me.”  As I walked around my classroom rearranging tables to prepare for student presentations and thought about the lyrics’ hope that odd things were true and that the sunrise was something of personal significance, I was reminded of something I said the evening before at dinner with some friends.  I had affirmed my belief that somehow, some way, God is always reaching out to us.  Through the Bible, the created world, through our fellow creatures, He is always making Himself known, pointing us to Jesus.

The song isn’t particularly religious, though it is hopeful in its question: is it for me?  Maybe, yes, perhaps, it is.  For you and us all.
