One night, when I was a boy, my mother told me a simple story. A little frog landed in the middle of a deep tire track in a muddy road. Jump as he might he couldn’t get out. The other frogs headed back to the pond for the night. Splash- little frog was back. .
"How did you get out,” the others demanded?
"I just jumped out," said the exuberant little frog, “you see a truck was coming.”
Deborah Deford writes in The Simpler Life, "We get into a rut and all of life takes on the color and texture of old mud. But staying in a rut is a choice.”
I was in a worldly rut for years. Then I saw the truck coming and made the choice to jump free.
"For the Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10)
