I am in Minneapolis right now. I flew here straight from Kansas City, as I am speaking at another conference here Monday and Tuesday. So I am using these 2 days in between to write and study.
Today I went to a coffeehouse near the University of Minnesota to write. I was alone and sitting there, when a Clash song came on the radio. 
It was interesting, as when the song came on the radio, even though I was still sitting by myself, I didn't feel so alone anymore. It was like a friend was now there with me. It was funny how hearing a song you are familiar with even gave me confidence, I could look around at people now and feel like I am not just sitting by myself anymore.
I then started thinking about how Jesus is always with us. He is there all the time - and we desire to be aware of His presence at all times. But what I found interesting, was how hearing a song tangibly on the radio, was such a real and vivid thing. Since I could hear the song, it was very real. We don't hear Jesus' audible voice or see Him physically. This makes it is hard sometimes realizing that Jesus is with us, more so, than a song on the radio.
So, i sat there and pondered about Jesus and the reality of Him there with me. I pondered how He is also with the millions of other followers of His across the globe at the same time. And as I sat in the coffeehouse, and The Clash was playing, I prayed and was led to think about and worship Jesus. A mystery and marvel and truth that I contemplated in a coffeehouse in Minneapolis with the voice of Joe Strummer in the background.
