Living in the moment

I just watched a live airing of Sports Center.

I witnessed the glory of live tv.

The anchors were discussing a story about Jay Cutler when a transition screen came up for the next story. When the transition screen cut back to the live camera, the cameras were not in position. The female anchor continued delivering the details of Curt Schilling's retirement, but the camera locked in on the male anchor.

So what do you expect to happen?

Does he panic and make an awkward face?

Does he make the cut motion across his neck?

No.

He goes with it.

The anchor began to to mouth what his co-anchor was saying. This went on for 10 to 15 seconds. He managed to make it through the entire story without laughing. At the end he simply smiled and continued with his own story.

I couldnt help but laugh.

He played it so smoothly.

Improv.

Off the cuff.

Going with the flow.

That's real life.

We can plan all we want. We can have expectations. But in the end, we have to trust God and just go with it.

Here's to being able to handle the unexpected events of every day life.

How boring would life be if everything went according to plan?
