Poem Title:
Poem
It's likely to happen at church before the worship service begins. But it also takes place at the end of the worship service as well. Believe it or not, it has been known to also occur during the brief 'get acquainted times'-you know, those few seconds after worship just before the announcements and offertory. By now you are saying, "What on earth are you talking about. Get to the point already". Believe me, there is serious chit-chat going on throughout the sanctuary during these few moments, but I can speak specifically for myself. You see, I wish, but I was not blessed with 'the gift of gab' having a huge depository of words. Small talk people finish your sentence before you do and are enameled with expressions like 'cut to the chase', 'name that tune...', and 'get to the point'. Sports, health, weather, family, geopolitics, God, local and world news. Why, depending on what's going on in the world, the list is long and sometimes unpredictable. However, there are those among us well qualified to assess situations and solve the world's problem in minutes. For 'summation people', it's not always a question of time, but it's more like the way they are made up. I'm not saying that they are Jeopardy people or smarter than others. Moreover, if their world had a wheel of fortune, sighting words would not come easy for them. Therefore, they would be more inclined to buy them. Imagine topics like sports and Geo-politics being shared for two to five minutes. Admittedly, some of us require a lot more time than others. 07162018cjPS(First of two parts)
