Ahhh.... i would see a different saying applying here..
Always check the SIMPLE stuff FIRST!
and if you want to go all 'proverbial'...
Look after the 'pennies' and the 'pounds' (dollar$) will look after themselves.
To me 'The Devil is in the DETAIL' has a slightly different meaning...
God supposedly gave to man a number of laws and ordinances in Leviticus and Deuteronomy (and Exodus also) in addition to the Ten commandments...
The Devil is well able to use these many convoluted detailed commandments to enable evil to be done in the attempt by man to live up to them and force others to uphold them.
Christ did away with all of the 'detail' (and the Devil contained therein) and Left us with a single simple commandment that is less able to be misconstrued... Love God body mind heart and soul and love your neighbour as yourselves.
I think the details - the things I'm missing in life - have to do with how busy I keep myself and how that affects my relationship with my wife and children.
ckroboth, do you know what I hate is forgetting little, simple words...or names. drives me nuts.
Love, I completely agree with your take on that phrase. Good stuff!
Vince, I do as well. It is the everyday life stuff that I don't think I could away with hiring an assistant for :)
Brad, yes. We get focused on the big picture and lose sight of the important things, don't we.
Bad, Hahahaha!!!!

Yup... something I would definitely do. Although it is super hilarious to think about you crawling in through the back in public only to find the simplest explanation is the right one. :)
Too funny!

I'm sure I would have been saying [deleted], [deleted] and [deleted]. In other words... c r a p. Sorry, the live chat swear protector cracked me up.... :)
Nice! I've walked around the house before searching high and low for my keys, only to find I had them in my hand along with my sunglasses, purse etc. The more distracted you are, the more you miss the little things.
I tell myself this all of the time. I am an event planner so every detail must be examined before executing a great event. It's exhausting when you overlook something that seems so small (but to a CEO it's a big deal). URG! thanks for sharing this pretty funny story though.
So, Deb and CJ, I sense some sarcasm and pointing of fingers as you laugh underneath or NOT underneath your breath :)

that is hilarious!!!
and, yeah something like i would do too. only difference is my first instinct would be to check to make sure it's plugged in... then the lock. lol :-).
awwwwww but see God allowed that to happen so you could write this post about how the devil tends to get on our last nerve and make the simplest things in our lives, complicated, so there was a purpose in all of it!
That kinda cracks me up. I could just imagine your frustration when realizing the simple fact of the door being locked.
One reason I've started to step back and think when something doesn't work. Because usually somewhere in the situation there is a lock, and all you have to do is flip the switch.

Rand, normally I would go crazy, but this time I actually laughed at myself. I couldn't wait to tell tam what I had done. Ridiculous.
But your right, steeping back is key. Makes things run a lot smoother.

Aw, Heck...THAT IS SOMETHING I WOULD DO!!!
