There’s a Lion

You walk out of church.Same routine. Same steps. Same parking lot. Except today… it’s different. Because sitting right there—between your car and the exit—is a lion. Not metaphorical.Not spiritualized.A real lion. Watching. Waiting. Now be honest… You’re not checking your phone.You’re not finishing a conversation.You’re not casually strolling to your car.
