Proof or You'll Goof

Yesterday I thought was going to be a great day. I can't name all the things that were going just right. I had found the ideal parking spot in front of the hotel where I usually stay. I was assigned to the room I always request. I know most of the front desk staff by name, and I even made friends with the hotel's engineer. I told him about a problem with this particular room of a slow draining tub and when I got home the day before, he had left me a note saying the tub was fixed, and the maid left me a note saying I should have a good day. And overall I did, except that I made Jesus a rabbit.

Yep, not an Easter Bunny, but an itinerant rabbit. Yes, Peter Cottontail is itinerant, hopping down the bunny trail and all that, but what a horror to discover an email from a friend who lovingly said that he knew that I usually wrote my devotions before my first cup of coffee, but had I meant to make Jesus a rabbit? Of course no, but I saw it as I reread the post. Yikes. I responded by saying that's why we had the Easter Bunny. Another sent me a message by Facebook letting me know the same thing. I was thankful that somebody actually reads my postings but felt bad that I had not proofed. I goofed. It's on me. Or as the kids say, "My bad."

Proof or you'll goof.
