Where the road leads next

Monday evening I had to run into work and restart a Citrix server I broke from home. My wife and I took the opportunity to steal away from the kids, and found ourselves alone in my office.

Yes, the thought did run through my mind, and no it didn't happen.

As an aside, I think most men love the idea of anything intimate outside of the bedroom. The fact is we usually think about sex all day at work anyway so it seems a perfect fit to bring the fantasy world into reality. The best part is that it is perfectly "legal" and moral to fantasize about you and your wife role playing at the office. But I digress.

No, this trip was not about being physical at work, it was about being spiritual.

As we were all alone in the office, had to run around the shop and restart ICA terminals, Julie suggested we pray. Honestly, I was still thinking about other things, but the idea stuck so we did.

Walking from department to department we simply prayed for peace and prosperity and for specific people as I told her who worked where. It was nice. It didn't even seem that strange to be praying in the building.

10 minutes later we were done, lights out, doors locked, and on our way home.

I was installing a scanner in our pre-press department today and a strange thing occurred, I started a very deep conversation about God with a former LDS. He actually initiated it by saying that everything was about money - even religion. He shared about his experience as a missionary for his church, and how he hated it. How he was forced to say things he didn't believe in, and how there is no truth.

He is really struggling, and all I could tell him was that he was right. For most people it is about money, but that is a lie. The world tells us our worth is found in our bank accounts, while God tells us our value is as a son and daughter.

I am not sure I made any impact, but it was amazing that we were discussing religion, Mormonism, Catholicism, and Christianity at work.

I wonder how that happened?
