Drive Day -1

When you travel you meet the most random people and sometimes the most hurting people. Sat by a guy from Duluth, MN on the way to Atlanta and he was a single guy, traveling to a business appointment in North Carolina, going to spend all day travelling and the guy was friendly but complaining about everything. I was re-reading the 7 checkpoints for student minsitry on the plane and Jimmy who was sitting behind me said the guy was reading the book over my shoulder all the way to Atlanta. Man, I am an idiot for not noticing him doing that. After he started complaining for 10 minutes, I had turned my iPod on and shut him off, missed opportunity. Makes me think though how many people look over our shoulders wanting to know what makes us tick, what we are doing, whether that be neighbors, students, parents, or just random people on airplanes. I have to continue to work on being more aware of opportunities to show people a little love.
