I’ll admit this is a bit silly. But sitting as I was on a bench outside an ice cream parlor, thinking about God and how little I talked to him, and having this gigantic praying mantis land next to me felt like a holy moment. It could have been too much chocolate ice cream too but I think it was God.

Thanks to Shelly and please continue to send me your thin places at dkuoblog@mac.com
