Management

Management

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost.
He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below.

He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help
me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know
where I am."

The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon
hovering  approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and
41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be in Information Technology," said the balloonist.

"I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is,
technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information,
and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at
all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."

The woman below responded, "You must be in Management."

"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or
where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large
quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to
keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact
is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but
now, somehow, it's my fault."

Funny!  Remember, Everything,  absolutely everything, above and below, seen and not seen finds it's purpose in Jesus Christ!  We are most useful when we are more aware of God's presence than we are of our own.

Thanks for retelling the funny story - but thanks so much more for the beautiful reminder of our position under Christ.
