WHAT TO DO

The person we work with is crazy or insane or a pain or drives us crazy, does nothing,wastes time.

He or she is on the eternal coffee break.

He or she makes more money than we do, or is praised more than we are, or is  recognized more than we are.

What to do - if anything?

Quit? See someone? Scream? Hang in there?

What to do?

Read The Book of Job? Turn the other cheek? Start our own business?

What to do?

It's an everyday question for millions and millions of people.

Help?

Do you wait for retirement? Ours or the other?

If we leave, will we meet their twin in the next place?

Or even more tricky, is the pattern, the mannerisms that itch and irk you, part of you, and you're no facing it or them?

If that's the truth, then everywhere you go, you go with you and them.

Yikes!

Help.

CHEERIOS IN CHURCH,

KIDS ARE US

 A church that has Cheerios on the floor - especially in the front row - is a welcoming church.

Kids are us.

Parents aren't stupid.  When their kid starts crying - screaming - 97%  out of 100 times,  they get up and walk out to the back of the church and head for the nearest exit with their screaming kid.

Yet, they want their kids up front - so they can see it all - to provide eachng moments - hopefully for some good "Show and tell" moments.

Crying rooms are super - sometimes.

However, I see the whole church as a crying room.

Now that could be another meditation like this one.
