Conscience
10:28 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
This blog has been delayed due to being out of town. From last week.
You relax into your seat, book in hand, as your plane takes off. The stranger sitting next to you fidgets - he has seemed unusually nervous. A few moments later, you feel his hand on your arm. You turn to see his eyes pleading with you.
"I'm not supposed to speak to anyone," he begins, "But I have to clear my conscience."
You get a little nervous, mind wanders over whether or not you can cause an emergency landing.
"I can't move on without getting somethings off my chest" he says
There is a long silent pause before he continues. "There are many things in my life I am not proud of .... "
As he continues to talk you catch phrases here and sex, gluttony, pride, envy. It seems like a run down of the 7 deadly sins. Your mind continues to wander horrible scenario one after another runs through your mind. You can't focus on his words and time seems to stand still.
A voice comes over the loud speaker "as we approach our destination we would like to thank you ..."
Your thoughts are clearing and you breathe deeply, turn to your neighbor in time to hear him say in a raspy, barely audible voice "Thank you Father, I needed to share that. Please pray that my voice holds out and that I will be forgiven. I don't know what I will do if she doesn't say yes."
