The watched pot never boils - isn't that what they say. I remember as a child I wanted to test this theory - it didn't seem right that it would never boil - it was a tedious experiment.
The sense of timing in John's Gospels is acute - Jesus puts tue authorities on a knife's edge but then walks away - his hour, we are told, had not come.
Accepting that the might be times for things which are beyond our control can be tough in our drive-thru culture but I was always taught there are three answers to prayer - yes, no and wait. Wait is the most common, it is also the most irritating!
