Hello, thank you for joining me today for Give Him 15. The title of today's post is The Mouse and the Elephant.

Unlike most of you, I love to wait. Not. I mean, really, who enjoys waiting? There are several things regarding waiting that I would fix immediately if I were put in charge of the world.

Driving in the passing lane of a highway without passing another vehicle would result in a $500 fine for first-time offenses, an automatic loss of driver's license on the second occasion.

Retaking driver's education would be required in order to get it back.

Actually, I might just make everyone take or retake for the first time. Drivers retake or take for the first time.

Drivers retake or take for the first time driver's education,

even without this offense.

Then they would all know how to use blinkers.

Secondly, family or friends whose group stretches all the way across the terminal corridor in airports, walking slowly, chit-chatting, balking those of us who have places to go and things to do would lose all flying privileges unless they took an airport walkers education class.

Thirdly, folks standing in checkout lines talking with the cashier, telling them their life's story while the rest of us in line wait, albeit patiently, they'll be charged

an extra $100 for their purchase.

In my book, The Pleasure of His Company, I share several more ways I could improve the world

if I were in charge.

Excuse me.

It's easy to see that given the right opportunity, I could correct much of the injustice

in the world and eliminate the stress caused by unnecessary waiting.

These injustices aren't actually a big deal to me, by the way.

For the most part, I'm a pretty well-adjusted, mild-mannered, cool, calm, and collected guy. That's me. Okay, so I don't like waiting.

Most of us don't, but there is one type of waiting I've learned to enjoy. Waiting on God. Before you question my honesty, let me point out that

I'm not talking about waiting for God to answer my prayers. Like you, I don't enjoy that. The waiting I

enjoy is spending time in his presence.

The biblical concept of waiting on the Lord is understood by few people these days.
