God and me – we have this agreement – it goes in threes:
1. Minor mishap [You drop your pen] – Think almost nothing of it; just make a mental note and dismiss it.
2. A bit more serious mishap occurs, or almost happens [You bump into a basket full of pens and a few fall (or, almost fall) onto the table.] – Take notice and be alert.
3. A real mishap takes place [Pens fly everywhere] – STOP EVERYTHING: YOU NEED TO GIVE GOD YOUR FULL ATTENTION. There’s something you need to hear.
