Patience – Holding Fast to the Way of Christ

Have you ever been in a supermarket check line, when the person at the checkout presents a fistful of coupons?  Groannnnn.  Or thrown into the grip of frustration hearing those four dreaded words:  “I need a price!”  Or how about the other four dreaded words:  “I need a key!”  Grrrrrrr.

Actually, I encounter these less today as I most often sprint to the Self-Check Out machines.  Yet even there we’re not free from the possibility of yet another test of patience.  Have you ever done something unbeknownst to you and have a screen like this pop up?
