When The Roof Leaks Move Your Chair

In 1937 architect Frank Lloyd Wright built a house for industrialist Hibbard Johnson. One rainy evening Johnson was entertaining distinguished guests for dinner when the roof began to leak. The water seeped through directly above Johnson himself, dripping steadily onto his bald head. Irate, he called Wright in Phoenix, Arizona. “Frank,” he said, “you built this beautiful house for me, and we enjoy it very much. But I have told you the roof leaks, and right now I am with some distinguished guests, and it is leaking right on my head.” Wright’s reply was heard by all of the guests. “Well, Hib, why don’t you move your chair?” (Today in the Word, Moody Bible Institute, Jan 1992, p. 14).
