This last week I was at the hospital with my dad and my sister waiting for my mom to get out of surgery. The time finally came when she was out of surgery and so we were heading to another part of the hospital to get lunch. Prior to this time I had been giving them an update on Brooklyn and her trip. I had just started to show them an Instagram video from her when we moved to the elevator. Well we pushed the button on the elevator to take us down and then turned our attention back to Instagram. The door eventually opened and we got on still looking at the video. The door opened, a lady got on, and we got off. We looked around and my sister and my dad who knew the hospital better than I did both said hmm this doesn't look right.
We figured out that we had been so focused on the video that we didn't pay attention to what the elevator was doing. We had simply got on the elevator and found ourselves in the wrong place! The lady who had gotten on had called the elevator up to her which was higher than the floor that we were originally on. So we went up instead of down. A couple of parables from this. The first and most obvious one is to not get so distracted by technology that you lose sight of where you are going. The second was know where you are going. Luckily for me I was with someone who knew that we were in the wrong place. Now obviously I was not in a dangerous place, but it still wasn't where I needed to be. If I listen to those who know I can get to my final goal. So if I listen to the Church leaders they will help me know where I am supposed to be so if I do get off track I know that I am off track.
