Last night I was taking a shower (thank God, right?). There was a daddy long leg perched on his web up in the corner. Spiders scare me, but it was the good shower. He wasn't going to keep me away from the best water pressure in East and, quite possibly, the entire campus. That shower is mine!* However, I did spend the entire fifteen minutes in pure fear and anxiety. My eyes did not leave that spider. If he decided to launch a determined (and, let's face it, completely insignificant) offensive attack, I was going to be ready.
Then I realized I had focused more acute attention on that little spider during my fifteen minute shower than I had focused on God the entire day. And He is a lot more real than whatever it is about that spider that I fear.
*Also, the crane flies are back and have taken over the rest of the bathroom - so if I left the shower I would have had to face them anyways.
