I am honored @yahwehministry. The Reverend must have been the first to take flight! The moral is just as you so aptly phrase in the question.

Our important lesson is drawn from the fact that, even the Reverend, despite weekly preaching on the pulpit, telling the 'faithful' to be prepared for the second of the LORD, yes, despite so, even the Reverend was not prepared!

It seems nobody is ever truly prepared, i imagine.

Thanks for sharing in this story. I wish that many would read it, and more than read, learn from it. Thanks again.
