You Learn As You Leave

I walked up to the breakfast station this morning and placed my order for an omelet. An elderly lady walked up next and placed her order too.  She then asked for some wheat toast.  I didn't realize that you could only get toast from behind the counter, so I spoke up and said, "I'll have two pieces too."  The elderly lady turned to me and said, "By the time you learn the way they do things around here, it's time to leave."  She then said, "Isn't that just like life?"  I agreed and said to her, "Now that will preach!"  She smiled and we enjoyed a pleasant conversation until our omelets were made. 


What do you need to "get learned" before it's time to leave?  What do you need to take care of before the coming of the Lord?
