Webster's defines queue as "a line of people waiting for something". Off QUEUE suggests that waiting in line for something isn't what God intended. He wants us to step out of line, be a bit different, search after Him with all that we are - get Off QUEUE...
Sometimes, God can be found in obvious places, like church, the Bible, a song - but at others, we may miss him because we just aren't expecting to see him there. I've found him in the faces of my children, the playfulness of my dog, a good film and the quiet of my back porch. Which is why the graphic above is what it is - light shining through in various places - just like God.
Be warned, the contents within this site may not always be palatable, but they will in some way point you towards a place where I've found the face of God.

Despite what Mountain Dew or Starbucks might suggest, there comes a point where even caffeine won’t keep you alert. [...]
Looking for a good read? Finally, I’ve finished Tony Jones’ book, “The New Christians” and am a few chapters into Mark Driscoll’s book “Vintage Jesus”. What a contrast! “The New Christians” posed chapter after chapter of questions, comments, ideas and interpretations as to what it means to follow Christ. “Vintage Jesus” has begun reading like a dogmatic text with the Driscoll gravy of indignation spread over top. Don’t get me wrong, I love Driscoll’s style and the way he speaks from such an absolute stance. I’m just not sure that I can stand up and be as confident about whom God is, when the more I get to know Him, the more I realize how little I really know. [...]
