Prayer at the gym

Carol Rockwood

“Clunk!”

A minute before, I had been sitting on a wooden bleacher at the university gym, watching a classmate jumping on the trampoline. As I started to slide my heavy winter coat off my shoulders, I suddenly had a strong inclination—almost like a command: “Stand up to take off your coat.” So I stood up, and as I finished taking my coat off, I heard a clunk on the seat, right where I had been sitting. A huge wrench had fallen there.

Jesus would be my role model.
