"Then give Caesar what is his, and give God what is is." Matthew 22:21
Our citizenship is in heaven," say those who pray, and they are ardent in pursing the prizes of that place. But this passion for the unseen in no way detracts from their involvement in daily affairs; working well and playing fair, signing petitions and paying taxes, rebuking the wicked and encouraging the righteous, getting wet in the rain and smelling the flowers. Theirs is a tremendous, kaleidoscopic assemblage of bits and pieces of touched, smelled, seen and tasted reality that is received and offered in acts of prayer.
