3 Questions
3 questions I would ask God if I could... well... ask God 3 questions:
1. Why don't you make it known to everyone on Earth that you are God?
2. Does it bother you that there are so many different interpretations of you?
3. In the Bible, why did you always say that you were coming soon, but you still haven't come?

This isn't a commentary on your three questions, but it reminded me...
I had to laugh when I heard James MacDonald on the radio one day talking about Isaiah 6, where Isaiah sees God's smoke-filled throneroom and the seraphim who hide their faces so they can't see God and hide their feet so God can't see them and Isaiah cries out "I am ruined for I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips."
With that picture in mind, MacDonald said everyone who says, boy they're going to have some things to say to God when they get to heaven and God's going to have some 'splainin' to do. He said, "Shutup. Just shutup. You are not." Like who do we think we are? God's awesomeness is going to so blow us away.
Just a thought.

My question for God:
How's the omnipresent thing working out for you?

In answer to your three questions, let me try:
1. He has.
2. Yes it does.
3. He uses a different measure of time than us. And he's more patient than us.
"Well, I think that it's time to get ready
To realise just what I have found
I have been only half of what I am
It's all clear to me now
My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive
There's something inside
That's making me crazy
I'll try to keep it together
'Cause what I say may not happen the same way
Now could be forever"
-- Gary Wright, "My Love is Alive"

Congrats, Different Dan, your's is the 100th comment.
I really appreciate your thoughts. I always seem to have a lot of questions, and I tend to think I have a lot of answers, but generally other people's answers are better than mine.
Keep me on my toes. Or flat on my face will work, also.

Woo hoo! No. 100. I feel special. :)
I appreciate your comments and questions too. Asking questions is what we do, or should do, best, I think.
