A Watched Pot Never Boils We think things are proceeding either not at all, or at a snails pace at best.  It's almost like watching a minute hand on a clock, one cannot see the minute hand actually moving, but look away for 15 minutes and it will have traversed 1/4 way around the clock face. With my son,  about the time he started walking, I stood him up against the  inside of a closet at our house, and made a mark even with the top of his head, and put a date by the mark for the purpose of measuring his growth over time.   I did this because when you're with you child constantly, it's hard to see that they are growing day by day.  Conversely, occasionally I would go out of town for a couple of weeks, and when I got home he hardly look like the same person.  His growth over time was more ostensible. I think the same affect may apply to how slowly we are perceiving the progress of events within the Great Awakening, and I suspect that if we took a short break, instead of following the happenings second by second, the  actual progression of events would be more apparent.  But saying in this case is easier than doing, because we are all so anxious for the least bit of solid evidence that it's all going to be okay, that the criminals are not going to get away with the crimes, the those who have been raping out country, and our children, are going to pay.
