DOOR STOP
I wanted to scream when I spotted
a Bible being used as a door stop.
It was stopping me from listening
to this nursing home guy I was visiting.
I didn’t say anything - but when he said
something - I said, “Wait a minute.”
I picked up his Bible - put a phonebook
in it’s place - and paged through it.
“Listen to this,” I said. He was all ears -
as I read the Parable of the Prodigal Son.
He then said, “Where did you get that?
What book are you reading from?”
“It’s your’s. I spotted it on the floor there.”
“Oh,” he said. “Let me keep that right here.”
