Getting lost
I have zero sense of direction. When people ask me about what Small Groups are available in their neighborhood, I usually have to jump onto Google Maps to double-check where their neighborhood is. When I drive somewhere I haven’t been before (and even many place I frequent), I have to write down the directions both ways because I have a habit of turning the wrong way as I leave, and not realizing it for miles. That’s what happened on Tuesday while I was leaving a lunch appointment with friends.
Instead of getting frustrated, I decided to take the opportunity to explore Sherman Oaks a bit. I took my time driving down Ventura Boulevard. I watched the people around me (not too closely–I was still driving). People were on their lunch breaks, running errands, out with friends. I tried to imagine where people were going or what they were going through. It was a great reminder of who the people are that we are trying to reach as we “Love our Neighbors.”
