It was an amazing example of why so many people are so ignorant.
We were sitting in church and came to the moment when we began to sing as a congregation. The woman beside me looked totally confused. Why? Because we began singing on verse 4.
You might think that would justify some confusion but consider a few details. First, the order of worship made a very clear statement, in print, that we would only sing verse 4. Second, the pastor had just given a clear explanation of how and why we were only singing verse 4.
I assume the woman had at least average intelligence. I assume her hearing was good. In spite of that she did not have a clue.
Some people can’t find their pen when it is in their hand. So when students tell me I didn’t tell them about a quiz or we never covered the material on the quiz they are in good company.
Ignorance is neglecting to stock the shelves. Stupid is having no shelves to stock. Take your pick.

Maybe her mind was totally elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteI can identify with that. My mind is on constant tangents. Maybe she was thinking about her next blog post.
