Often we make important decisions...

Often we make important decisions quickly, instinctively. Not that such decisions don't
lead to lifetime consequences good and bad, but many people make their biggest
decisions fast and fritter away their time on the little things. Maybe all you need is
margarine, but people have to steer their shopping carts around you as you read the side
of each container.
Malcolm Gladwell's book, Blink: The Power of Thinking without Thinking, reports that often in an instant we're able to correctly assess a situation and make the right snap decision, as did Matthew. One day at the tollgate outside of Capernaum he looks up from his paperwork and, instead of another caravan to shakedown, he meets the eyes of a teacher from Nazareth who says, "Follow me." Here is where the gears of the universe either mesh smoothly or grind him to pieces. "And he got up and followed him."
