Immersed in my morning studies, I heard a voice. “Go see David,” it said. 

I planned to go later and returned to my studies. In a few minutes, the voice came again, “Go see David.”

Alright, I thought, I’ll go. Then I returned again to my studies.

The voice came more forcefully the third time. “Go now!”

I pushed my studies aside and headed out the door. I drove to where I knew David would be. As I approached his office, the door opened. He came out putting on his overcoat. If I’d arrived one minute later, I’d have missed him.

We went into his office. I delivered the message I’d been given. He was so grateful. 

Some errands are time sensitive. Don’t be like me. Respond the first time. You may not get another chance.

Go now!
