MJ and I talked with our favorite Vet Dr. Brandy Doggett. She told us of her recent vacation and made us want to follow in her footsteps. Mylo enjoyed the conversation as well.

I thought as Dr. Doggett was talking and her animation in explaining her recent holiday that she made my day just by vicariously experiencing her joy.

I love to refer to the famous play Waiting For Godot. We seek him here we seek him there and yet he is with us and we do not realize it.

I saw my old friend Brent yesterday. I was employed by Brent in the vocation of carpet laying when I was 20 years old just before I was hired at SIUC. He was so nice to me. I had at that time never worked for a kinder boss. When we talked a bit yesterday I could only see Brent of 46 years ago. Brent exemplified how a good boss acts.

At times we desire others to comply with our restrictive mold of how we think they should be. Shame on us for putting people in a box. We are unique. We seek others who will see us for who we are and not their pigeonhole portrait of us.

Perhaps God will tap us on the shoulder. Maybe he will reveal himself to us in a burning bush. Could he be in the gold of our cathedrals? Does he have a special message for us that we are to share with the world?

We are a bit broken. We want the big event. Cymbals are in order as is the bass drum. Trumpets shall peel their resounding call to arms and the Heavenly Choir will join in with the old hymn Onward Christian Soldiers.

We seek the elusive imprimatur of God when he is standing next to us in line at the grocery store.

Look into the eyes of the person next to you and you will see God…
