I had a practical demonstration of the destructive nature of the welfare state this morning…
My wife left for Texas yesterday afternoon.
She will be staying with our oldest daughter, Bean this entire week while attending the Southwest Believer’s Convention in Fort Worth. She has been attending this conference for over 20 years
The timing is great for her. She just finished a very challenging summer session on Thursday.
Her physiology professor didn’t care all that much about test grades. Instead, he insisted that his students, most of whom hope to enter the medical profession, actually learned and understood the material.
Her second class was in philosophy. You have to know my wife…let’s just say that philosophy was not her cup of tea.
Needless to say, she had to work very hard in both classes.
So, the timing of this conference could not have been better. I am glad that she could go.
Now to the point…
I woke up this morning just like always. I did everything the same as I usually do. It was when I went down to the kitchen at 6:05 that I realized that she wasn’t there.
My wife gets up every morning at 6:00. She makes me a quick egg sandwich and packs my lunch for me.
I had not given one thought to what I was going to eat that day.
And it wasn’t that I realized everything all at once…
First, I realized that she wasn’t there to make an egg sandwich for my breakfast.
Then, I realized that I had no idea what I was going to have for lunch…or snacks…or dinner!
I got to work seven, count them, seven minutes late! Not good!!!
