Wilma Heinrich walked out the front door and down the concrete steps toward the white minivan. She leaned against it as she stretched her legs before her run. All of a sudden, her husband Mick pulled into the driveway and then got out of the green Saturn.
" How was the bible study?" he asked as he took the mail out of the mailbox and picked up the newspaper from the driveway.
" It was fine" she replied as she began to run in place. " How was your meeting with Mr James today?".
" He postponed it until tomorrow morning but I know I'm going to get the job promotion".
" How do you know that?".
" As much profit as I've earned for that company, I know he's going to give me that job".
" Have you ever read James 4:14?".
" I don't read the bible much".
" The bible verse says that we are like a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes".
" What does that mean?" Mick asked as he watched a squirrel run up their maple tree.
" Instead of boasting, you should say if the Lord wills, it will happen".
The next day, Wilma was planting some roses in her front garden when she heard her husband's Saturn coming into the driveway.
" How did the meeting go?" she quietly asked as she knelt down to pick up some leaves.
" I did not get it" he glumly replied as he walked into the house.
