Ironic or Opportune?

It's Sunday evening. Just preached a sermon about opening our eyes to Gods miracles--instead of complaining about what we don't/can't see. I even used Louis CK's comedy bit about Americans who take cell phones for granted: ("I'm SORRY that your tiny device that bounces energy FROM SPACE is moving slower than you'd like..."). Later at home, while working on some curriculum, I came across a quote that warned against preaching and not practicing--"lest we get left behind" --and then, lo and behold--our entire wifi crashes. No internet. 

That means the freshly-written curriculum can't be emailed to the leaders who need it. 

I'll admit that my first reaction was something like "Uuuuugggghhh!!!! I hate this internet!!!" 

...but I quickly realized the parallel between the morning's sermon and the evening's occurrence. ("No. I'm going to stay calm. Internet is a luxury--not a necessity.") And my attitude changed. I drove up the street to borrow wifi and oatmeal from McDonalds and ended up seeing Theresa--one of the ladies from our Tuesday morning ministry. Not only was it a great conversation, but I had forgotten something I was supposed to do, so the encounter saved the day.

All in all, it was a good moment to lean on grace and remember that Sunday sermons are for me, too. We have to be thankful and appreciate what we have.
