Sheldon Cooper has his spot. He says, “”In an ever-changing world it is a single point of consistency. If my life were expressed as a function on a four-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, that spot, at the moment I first sat on it, would be (0,0,0,0)”. It was on a couch. Archie Bunker had his spot and it was a lounger in front of the TV. People, especially athletes try and find a “sweet spot” on the court or the field. Fisherman try and find a spot and many times the spot is not an easy one to stay on due to wind or waves. Our spots are points of consistency. Luther had his spot where he stood and said it was all he could do. He was captive to the Word of God and that spot where he stood could be a scary place and a comforting place at the same time. Our spots don’t have to be comfortable, just a single point of consistency.
The cat found a spot this morning. I think this has more to do with comfort.
