Grace. Mercy. Love. The ultimate triple threat.

I am a fan of movies.  I love a good movie.  It doesn't have to be warm and romantic, it could be cold and violent, twisty and suspense-filled.  I will take almost any movie.

It has to have movement.

I can get lost a good script, with good actors.

The triple threats are my favourite. Someone who has the ability to actually act (not Tom Cruise) and has more than one ability.

Maybe the act and sing.  Like Anne Hathaway in Les Mis

Maybe they act and dance.  Like Vera Ellen in White Christmas.  She was gifted.

Maybe, just they can do more.  Like my all time favourite, Val Kilmer.  Then, they have me.

I was sitting at my desk today a whirl of office politics dancing in the air, gripes, complaints, sick people, short staffed...and I was thinking about "the Union" and how in the beginning it was a necessity, but now it's bred more than a few "sloths-in-the-system" who know they can't really can't be let go because the Union has their backs.

I was yelled at a couple times today by people.  Nearly mowed over by a smart car.  The day wasn't coming around to being the most stellar...

I was thinking about how great a job I really have.  About how great my co-workers are.

I started thinking about having a dose of Grace in this job.  About having some Mercy for my superiors, who are really trying to do a good job.  Then I landed on love.

And then I thought of the only triple threat to have ever existed   Jesus.  He put me here for a reason, for a higher purpose.  I don't know all the ins and outs of the job, the union or inter-office relationships, but I do know that I am here to show my co-workers and those that call here a small slice of the real triple threat.
