Waiting for UFOs to show

Something occurred to me tonight on the way to dinner ... .

If a UFO landed on a church parking lot this Sunday morning, there'd be people in the congregation who'd stare into the camera Live On The 6 O'Clock News and breathlessly proclaim, "That was the most awesome thing that's ever happened!"

Or on a smaller scale: "You'll never guess who I shook hands with ... I even got his autograph!"

Like, even as believers we tend to keep hoping something or somebody really exciting is just bound to show up in our lives ... when the most amazing, utterly awesome experience imaginable should already have riveted our attention for eternity.
