When Jesus Knocks On Your Door
Many years ago, in the posh community of Hillsborough, California, a man set out with his wife and children late one Christmas Day to sing carols for the neighbors. As they were warming up their voices outside the first stop, the woman of the house came to the door, looking distraught. "Look, fella," the woman said, "I'm just too busy for this. The plumbing's on the blink. I can't get anybody to fix it, and there's a mob coming for dinner. If you really feel like singing carols, come back around nine o'clock, okay?
The man replied very respectfully, "Yes, ma'am." Then the Bing Crosby family turned and walked away from the house. (Herb Caen, in "One Man's San Francisco")
Are we so busy with the details of our own lives, that we would send Jesus away should He knock on the door?
