I've finally decided I am aligned with:
Knitting a Conundrum - I believe that no matter what we say, argue, believe or do, God will do what he wants to do, in his way, and in his time. Our job is to be watchful servants, always ready for his coming.
Now. Had I know you were going to include the humor...
I'd have posted this earlier ; )
Early one glorious summer evening, as the sun was setting, I made haste to a special out-of-town commemoration service at one of my denomination's churches for the anniversary of an ordination. I missed a turn, had to go around the block, and needed a bathroom in the worst way. I pulled up on the side of the church, in a parking space on the street (easily) because there were no other vehicles in sight. As my eyes traveled to the church itself, I saw no lights, no people, no nothing. All that lay before me was a dark, empty church in the twilight.
I'd spotted a gas station while zipping around the block and after a brief puzzled hesitation wondered if I had my date and time correct. I made a beeline for the gas station, grabbed the bathroom key, took care of business and as I returned it to the attendant, I calmly asked about the church. He explained there was a smaller church a few blocks over, and I realized not only had I forgotten there were two churches in that town, but I'd just assumed the service was at the big church. I told the attendant how quiet, and still and EMPTY the big church was, and how eerie it had felt in the twilight -when I'd been expecting to find lights and lots of people. He laughingly supposed I'd had to wonder if the rapture had taken place and I'd been left behind : )
Very creative way to start a prayer list...
