My God Doesn't Fit In My Pocket.

I was eating my breakfast of chai and banana bread this morning when I noticed a man praying out the window. He bowed his head, put his hand together in front of his face, and said a short prayer. He then reached in front of him, picked up his small gold idol and went back inside. He was praying to the idol. It was probably Buddha, but I'm not sure.
I immediately thought, "My God doesn't fit in my pocket."
Think about that statement for awhile. Pretty awesome. I'm glad God doesn't fit in my pocket.

That would be a good tattoo to come back to the US with.

He could if he wanted to. He did fit on the cross last i checked.

Could he have been praying to God while using the idol?

I wear a cross around my neck, and sometimes I hold it while praying. It doesn't necessarily mean that I am praying to the hunk of metal though.
