If your church was all up into a financial crisis, with money missing and the accounting book all messed up, and then your minister says he and his wife are going off tomorrow on a three-week vacation....there's something wrong.
If your bank called and said that three months of mortgage payments hadn't been paid, and your wife suddenly says she's got tickets for tomorrow for a Mediterranean cruise of two weeks....you'd pause and suggest to her that there's some more important work to do.
If your septic tank overflowed, and your cousin showed up with his bass-boat to suggest you and him haul off for a three-day weekend starting this afternoon.....you'd tell him in blunt words that you got real work to do.
If your wife let you know that she'd been arrested for hefty drug possession this afternoon, but she's got a casino hotel room in Louisiana all rented up for the next seven days....you'd stop her in her tracks, and say 'no'.....we got real work to do.
Real people....logical people....common sense people....would eyeball the problem, the resolution, and the path ahead. They'd prioritize.
So I just gaze at this Nancy-goes-on-holiday-to-Brussels situation, and kinda wonder how she relates to real people.
