BE PREPARED
Last week I drove to Chicago to officiate the funeral of the young man murdered two weeks ago in Angola. I do not like Chicago driving, but knew I had to do it. I entered the address of the north Chicago funeral home into the GPS of my cell phone and took off. I did not realize the drain GPS puts on a cell phone. By the time I was four miles from my exit off I-90 the battery went dead. I did not own a car charger and I did not know where I was going.
I had noted the exit I was to use (47-C onto Belmont), but then I was lost. So, I asked some directions and spent 30 minutes driving in circles until I finally found the place 30 minutes before I was to speak. A little stressful, to say the least. But all went well and I think I comforted the family and friends.
On the way back I stopped at a Walgreen’s and bought a car charger. I should have remembered my old Boy Scout Motto: ‘Be Prepared’. I wasn’t and paid the price.
Are you prepared for the storms that may pop up today? You may have a car charger, but do you have a spiritual charger (Holy Spirit) before you go dead? Take care of that and be prepared.
