I was following a school bus in mid-May. Often the bus had to wait while children came running (& in some cases walking slower than a turtle) down the street. By May it should be obvious to all school children & their parents that the school bus is coming! Therefore, be ready to board when it arrives. At one stop a family waited in their vehicle until the bus came to a complete stop. Only then did they exit their SUV, stop to hug & kiss mom goodbye, paused to wave at the others on the bus, THEN proceeded to cross the road in order to board the bus.
I know they have bus evacuation drills in case of an emergency … I think they need to have bus boarding drills in case someone else is trying to get to work on time. The passage we’ll be studying out of Ephesians this morning asks us to work efficiently & in a sweet spirit not just whenever the boss is watching but even after he’s gone home for the day. People who work like that make the lives of the other people on the planet a little easier.
