High Centered
The drainage ditch running past my house is home to a pair of Mallard
ducks who recently became parents of quads. The other afternoon little ones
were out for a swimming lesson and all lined up behind mom and dad. Because
they were going with the flow it should have been an easy float trip, but the
last little guy in line got high centered a cattail reed coming out of the
water. By the time he dislodged himself his parents and siblings were around
the bend and out of sight. I’ve been there. I can get hung up on a verse of
Scripture that I just heard in the sermon and while I’m wrestling with it the
rest of the folks have already moved on.

Gail;
-----You’re touching upon one of life’s most problematic causes. The world does not stop spinning for anything except God’s command. And He’s only been willing to horse with it twice. It’s unlikely He will for us again. So life marches on in an endless stream of events while we are given a short term memory of only thirty to forty five seconds for picking only the few most pertinent things from the constant flow of events and circumstances. It is almost unfair how much is involved in one event and how little of it will meaningfully register upon in our minds. I guess that is why one of the world’s most used expressions is “Huh?”
Love you all,
Steve Corey
