We Fall, We Get Up

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

If the bottom line does not include peace, there is no profit.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

In the grand scheme of things, what if you improvise as things go along?
If you live, don’t you have to change?
When we are more likely to provide pet health care than health care for humans, are we going to the dogs?
In my small scheme of things, my improvised musings amuse me.
I’m sure you understand.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Wait, wait, don’t tell me. I know this one.”

[Ah, the games He never played.]

D. Blog: We Fall, We Get Up

Have you noticed how children will trip and fall and experience it as natural. They hop right back up. As we get older, such an occurrence causes embarrassment. We fear someone might have seen our misstep, might recognize our less than perfect condition. I once took a class in tai chi. Some middle school girls looked in on the class and asked the instructor “what is this?” He explained that it was a class on how to get up after you fall.

Children’s attitude is healthy: How very natural.
