PSALM 84

 So they always say plan for the unexpected… I was planning to get ready for Zumba class when I saw a big fat spider by the door! I grabbed some Lysol to drown that sucker and she retreated to a corner seemingly defeated. I resumed my plans and prepared to go up the steps, but there was a spider by the door! This spider at the door seemed slimmer but when I looked to the corner, there was no curled up sucker in the corner. Instead there was over a dozen baby spiders!!!!!! Aggghhhh!!!  Needless to say, I was late for Zumba. 

  This morning I was sitting at a stop light on a street with 4 lanes, one way. A car made a right out of a parking lot and was facing us. Then the light turned green. The car facing us realized their predicament but before the car could respond, the other cars next to me began to advance.  I wonder how often we do that in our lives? Someone around us begins to realize they are going the wrong direction, but before they can fully course correct, we blow right by them. From our perspective at the stoplight, sitting 4 across, it was obvious that the other car was wrong. And it didn’t take long for the other car to see, “wow I am wrong”. But it did take time for course correction.  As a person who craves efficiency and loves when things could have been done yesterday or two weeks ago, I have to be careful not to blow past people who are in the midst of a course correction. The car reversed back into the parking lot from which they came, and I am sure they reoriented themselv...
