As I left the house early this morning, I was blessed with the beauty of a clear, pre-dawn sky. The planets Venus, Jupiter, and Mars were all in view. I wished I could stay home from work and enjoy the wonders in the heavens above. I felt short-changed. Denied something I wanted. Then I realized the paradox. If I didn’t have to go to work, I would not have gotten out of bed in time to see the beautiful sky. How did I not see that coming?
