Misfocused and Missing Turns

Before last ministry trip, I took special care to print out Mapquest directions to our location. Enroute, wife, Carole, and I privately expressed our humble dismay that people sometimes obviously do not focus to give good attention to communications we send them in emails. On and on we went, noting examples of the experiences we have had with people who would respond to our information, sometimes requests, as if they did not take the time to read and comprehend the whole message. Why couldn’t people be more like us we humbly lamented. At the height of our humble lamentations, I grabbed the travel directions and hollered, “Oh no! Where are we?" As it turned out, we humbly missed our exit 15 miles back.
