Today's blessings

Well, so far Pope Francis has not asked me to be an evangelist.  But maybe I will be.

After a massive all staff meeting to review possible CIO candidates for my agency, I happened upon one of them in the lobby, waiting for someone to come fetch him in our very secure building.  Ah!  My opportunity to talk with this man, who is filled with energy (filled with the Spirit?  Maybe I will find out if he gets the job).

We talked about private industry to government and how fascinating that transition can be.  About the "box states", but I had to inform him Oregon of course is unique.  Check out Portlandia and that is 1/4 of the state.  Then remember the State of Eastern Oregon..

As we talked an old woman in a walker was scuffling around the lobby.  Sound carrying.  She asked where is Safeway?  I politely showed her it was out one side of the building and two blocks down the street.

Somehow, it was God's plan I should talk with this man. Somehow, His plan I should be able to help this woman.  These are my blessings today.
