    What must it feel like to spend every day waiting? Just waiting. Not going anywhere, not keeping appointments, not concerned about a schedule, but just waiting.

    This parable challenges us to make sure we are prepared at all times to meet God. Whether via the Second Coming or at our death, we need to be ready. Not a good idea to be unprepared for His coming.

    Sometimes we come across to others as people who seem very different from what we claim to be. This happens when we fail to practice what we preach. It also happens when others make assumption about us without having all the facts.
