*knock*

In a single day, over a span of 2 hours, I've discovered so many different kinds of knocks.

Did you know the standard style is to knock three times? 

It's the strength of the knocks that makes them so different.

There's the...


Timid Knock
It makes the knocker sound very unsure of himself. And it makes the knockee feel quite uncertain herself. All hail the postman who isn't sure if this was the right unit to come knocking on.



Urgent Knock
It's three knocks still, but much faster. Because the faster you go, the louder the knocks are. Like when you need to wake your housemate up because the postman is asking for his signature, and your housemate is sleeping like a log.



Hmmph Knock
You can literally feel the "Hmmph" in this one. (for the record, "Hmmph" and "Hmm" are two totally different sounds) Like maybe, the way your neighbour feels when you're parking in his parking bay and he needs you to get out of it pronto. And the knockee usually runs to the door. Or hides. In this case, she ran.



Here I am!
I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, 
I will come in and eat with him, 
and he with Me.

Revelation 3:20



When Jesus knocks, what kind of knock is it?
