Just Stop A Minute
I went into the bathroom at work today and there was a sign taped to the stall door. I was amused when I read the sign because English was clearly not the author's first language.
I also felt for the author and his desperate need to communicate a simple concept. I appreciated the warning and heeded it because I knew what he was trying to say. I try to construct prayers to God according to varying sets of rules, but all of them sound as foolish as this sign to him. Yet he understands and listens.
And maybe sometimes he has something to say. I am more busy than I have ever been at work and I have just taken on the extra responsibility of preschool soccer coaching. Yet today is the beginning of Lent. This is when we Christians traditionally set aside some of our distractions to focus on God. I may have received a sign from God.
"OFF ClOSE"
As usual the implementation step is eluding me.
