So as I was pondering the great mysteries of life this morning as I sat down to have my morning cup of tea, scan headlines, and change my facebook status... I was just realizing the unique tendency of life in general to hit us with its best shot... i.e. nothing... and then wham!! It all hits at once! I personally find this slightly overwhelming at times, if not a bit... oh... I don't know... disheartening!!
But then, like the avid thinker that I am, I immediately recognized that in this dismal piece of life observation there is a defining key for growth!!
See, I wonder if when life is hitting us with fast balls at a million miles a second, does it not make us step up a little more to the plate? Maybe our best swing will only connect with air... but then again... transfer of momentum anyone?? It takes a whole lot less powerful of a swing to send a fast-ball sailing over the fence than it does for a slow pitch softball!
True, no bunting (enough to get by), but then again, who said our goal in life should be to just get to the next base? Aren't we called to all out, abundant, on-the-edge, fast paced, home run, victorious type of living?
Maybe it only appears that we're getting hit with fast-balls because we were looking for something slow enough to bunt!
