But Mavis was already gone and Windy was already through three more handshakes. These folks were in a hurry. “Yo Doc … you know why they call it May Day?” But Doc and Mrs. Doc were already halfway to their car. “I don’t know about you, Rev,” he whispered, “but these folks are sure in a hurry.

And, “Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread” (Proverbs 20:13). One thing I have learned in life is never take anything for granted. When you do, things never seem to come out right.
