Back to the real world, or so it is as I perceive it . . . .

I often have these days when it seems like nothing can go right. I oversleep. Then there is this time warp thing that happens in the shower-- I feel like I have been in there for just a short period of time, and feel pretty good about making up for lost time. But alas, I have somehow spent more than half an hour in there. The bra refuses to fasten. Then the shirt gets makeup all over it-- and it was the only one that was going to work with that outfit. Next either the pants won't button or the finger goes through the pantyhose. Sometimes I step funny if I am wearing a skirt and rip out the hem. Then I cannot find one shoe, or I spill coffee all over myself . . .

You get the drift.

But then, while sitting in traffic, wondering how I could screw up my day any more, and why the traffic is not moving . . . I finally get a glimpse of the accident that is causing me to be even later.

At times like these, I am grateful that God allows me to be such a screw up and to run late enough that I miss out on being in that accident.

If it weren't for my inability to be on time, it could be my time to go.

Thank You God, for letting me be a screw-up at all the right times. And please comfort the families of those who were in that accident.
