God resides in Your neighborhood or Psalm 139 Reimagined

A few weeks ago, I wrote this piece (Finding God in Our Complicated Neighborhoods) for Inhabit Conference. In it, I essentially discussed how we are conditioned to see a God who resides in nature: in rivers, trees, mountains, untouched ocean tides - but not in our cities, not in our neighbors. I mentioned in it that, per Psalm 139, we know that there is no where that God does not live.

At Inhabit, I facilitated a re-reading of Psalm 139 on the streets and in the people of our neighborhoods. To the left is the piece we read together. To the right is a worksheet for making your own Psalm 139 in place. If you do fill in the worksheet, I'd love (love!) if you'd share!
