The Grant Square parking lot.

I guess you can say I know the Grant Square parking lot more than most. All day at work, when I'm not washing hair or folding laundry, I'm sitting and looking out at that darn parking lot. What I've observed, and can almost guarantee, is that all driving rules are abolished in the Grant Square parking lot. The right side of the road is no longer the correct side, the speeding limit depends on how stressed one is, rear-view mirrors never seem to work, and whoever gets the right-of-way depends on who's agenda is more important, or, of course, who's car is nicer. It's almost as if people are driving like they are the only ones in the lot. It's a dangerous parking lot, really. So I've started to believe that sometimes life can get like this. We get so wrapped up in our life and our problems that we simply forget. We forget that there are other people that need our love and attention, and truthfully, we forget to put others above our agenda. Of course there are errands that need to be done, but there are also relationships that need to be built, and time that needs to be spent with our Maker, our family, and our friends. I'm afraid the latter often gets forgotten. Lets not make this life all about our agenda, and honestly, no one likes playing bumper cars in the Grant Square parking lot.
