Emphasis Preaching Journal

I walk in the mornings near the hospital. Sometimes I walk early and sometimes a little later. In my various times beside the hospital's parking lot, I've noticed a pattern. Cars that arrive ten to fifteen minutes before 7 a.m. drive fairly slowly into the lot. Cars that arrive five minutes before 7 a.m. arrive faster, and those at two minutes before 7 a.m. often rush recklessly into the lot. The pattern is repeated for the 8 a.m. shift: slower before the hour and faster the nearer people are to being late for work.
