Locked Doors

I have had several ah-haa moments over the years. I will start with an early one.

When I was 14 years old my friend’s Dad had a stroke and they rushed him to the hospital, he was not expected to survive the night.

It was a warm summer evening and as we were walking I was trying to console my friend. We found ourselves in front of a Church, I remember saying ‘what the heck, lets go say a Prayer for your Dad’ but, when we got to the front door it was locked; so we decided to try one of the side doors of the Church.

Just as we opened the side door an old man was exiting. He looked at us and said ‘don’t worry boys everything will be alright’. We didn’t think much about this at the time and continued to walk up the stairs to an interior door but it was also locked. My mind was saying why was this old man there in between the two doors and how did he get there if the doors were locked?

The next morning the hospital sent my friends Dad home saying he was ok, just what the man in between the locked doors had told us…I had my ah-haa moment!
