Winning the lottery
At work we often talk about the need for others to know what you do so that in case one day you are not there to do it. I used to use the phrase “in case you get run over by a truck”. One day one of my direct reports asked “why am I always getting run over by a truck?” Point taken. Since nost also don’t want to think a out getting let go, I have changed my line to imply they are gone because they “won the lottery!”
Well, I digress to a point. People play the lottery for a number of reasons. Probably one of those is to have a better future. Most people think having more money would provide that better future. The reality is that their vision is too short sighted. The future goes all the way to eternity. That’s why I left tracts in English and Spanish on this lottery kiosk. It’s and easy way to get the Gospel out by simply putting a tract or two there.
