Dad, Where Are You?

Deuteronomy 31, Hebrews 13:5, Revelation 21:3
About two years ago, I was pulling in the driveway after a particularly frustrating day of work. My cell phone had wrung a couple of times in the previous five of minutes but I didn’t answer it because I needed to get home to take my son to basketball practice. He hates being late for anything. Just as I turned my car off, the phone rang again. Reaching into my pocket I realized, it was Wesley calling. I answered, “Hello?” “Dad, where are you? I have to be down at the gym in one hour. You promised to be home on time.” In a combination of frustration and exhaustion I snapped back, “I just pulled in the driveway. I told you I’d be here on time. Don’t you trust me?”
