We have a gentleman who lives across the street from our church campus who has not been happy with our growth and our recent construction. Needless to say he makes our church life difficult at times. He loves to take pictures of our campus when we are doing activities that he deems are in violation of HB ordnances and condition of use permits.
Several weeks ago, while we were observing the fly over of the Space Shuttle, he was out there on the sidewalk, camera in hand, snapping shots of the gardeners on our campus do what gardeners do. Apparently a little later in the day than normal. Our friend is not flexible when it comes to scheduling issues.
He was facing the church and directly behind him in the clear blue sky was the Shuttle flying slow and low. He missed history his chance to view history because he was so caught up in the petty.
That was the saddest, most ludicrous event I have witnessed in a very long time. I wish I would have had my camera so I could've captured that moment.
We sometimes miss huge moments in life because we are paying so much attention to the insignificant ones.
