One Step Forward … Three back
Once I think I have made a little progress then something happens and I get my legs knocked out from under me. I find myself on my rear-end at the bottom of the hole I’m in looking up coveting the spot two rungs up the ladder that doesn’t reach the top. I don’t have to be on cloud nine or even cloud one since that will just set myself up to be knocked off. I just want to be back on ground level. I can start from zero once again but I am finding it hard to battle my way from negative nine. At this rate, I think I might just need to start digging my way to China. I’ll get to solid ground faster or maybe to Singapore or India. At least I know I could get a job there since over half of the products on our American shelves at our American Wal-mart have been made in a foreign country.
I know just how you feel. I am in a ditch with a foot holding me down. I look over and you are in the ditch beside me. Oh well, at least we are not alone in the ditch. One day God will smile on us too.
