Joan of Arcadia

An interesting story...
At work this afternoon a truck driver pulled on the scale and came up to the window for me to sign him in. Hispanic, small in stature and unsure of what I expected of him he smiled and began proselytizing to me as I was putting his information into the computer. While paying attention to my work and half listening to his testimony about the benefit of my being saved, I flashed back to a show I watched occasionally called "Joan of Arcadia". The premise being that God shows up to this teenage schoolgirl in the guise of ordinary people and gives her assignments to help where needed and to promote her personal growth. With my Catholic background and cynically pseudo spiritual outlook, I began to look past the man who was speaking in front of me and contemplate the possibility that God would approach me, a mere lintball in the dryer of this life and think, hmmm... What if, what if... Made me smile as I sent him on his way...
