Required Reading
I brought my Bible to work today. Not because I'm super spiritual or anything like that....but because I needed to look up a referance for a very dear friend of mine and I didn't have time to do it before I left for work. Anwyays, I had my Bible on my front desk and it was open to the verse I required (Psalm 73:23-28, in case you were wondering...) when a patient came in. Oh No! Do I quickly shut it and stuff it away so that they don't know that I wasn't really working? Do I leave it open and slip it away casually when their attention is elsewhere? What to do? I wasn't quick enough in either option and she calmly pointed out that I was reading the Bible. What? I was? This silly old thing? I'm just doing...um...research! I couldn't avoid the question and her questioning eyes so I replied..."yup, I sure am....I am behind in my Lent reading" For the next 20 minutes, (my boss was late and doing rounds, hence the quiet morning) we had a fantastic discussion about God, religion, spirituality, Blue Like Jazz, and many other things that normally aren't discussed in a doctor's office. Needless to say, it was a great conversation and a great way to start my morning...I'm glad I didn't just stuff my Bible away.

Maybe the patient wasn't a patient at all but an angel sent by the Lord to convict you to read your Bible more!
Like on "Touched by an Angel"?
I love that show... it makes me cry every time.
I will try not to think less of you Tasha.
Who watches Touched by An Angel? Its Lame. But, if Della Reese walked into my office and told me to read the Bible, I might be convinced. Maybe.
I don't know what kind of Christians YOU are... but the Christians I know only watch QUALITY TV programs such as "Touched by an Angel", "7th Heaven" and Billy Graham Specials.
I do love 7th Heaven. That Simon is a handful! I admit I'm a sucky Christian...I love Sex and the City. I'm gonna burn in hell.
