A girl said, “My mother and I returned to my parents’ house late one evening to find my father, my college-age brother, Steven, and my ten-year-old sister fast asleep.
“Mom had forgotten her house keys, so we knocked loudly, first at the back door and then the front and side doors. We yelled my father’s name over and over, with no answer. The car horn aroused the neighbors but no one at our house. We drove into town and phoned home, finally waking Steven.
“When we got back, he let us in. Dad was in bed, snoring, with the television on. Mom quietly switched it off. Dad woke right up. "’Don’t turn that off,’ he said. ‘I’m watching it’"
Several applications could be made but here’s mine. Dad’s asleep while the worlds show rushes on. And dad may be asleep in regard to everything else that’s going on, including the Lord.
