Journal Entry for October 13, 2007 Mood
Saturday, October 13, 2007

(I have been watching a few discussions and for some reason this story came to mind)

Joe is walking down the street not paying much attention to where he was going when he suddenly falls into a large deep hole in the middle of the sidewalk.  When he regains his senses at the bottom of the hole he attempts to climb out but cannot as the walls are too steep and there is nothing to grab a hold of. He begins to call out for help and shortly after a Doctor comes passing by and notices Joe down in the hole.  HEY DOC I’VE FALLEN DOWN THIS HOLE AND CAN”T GET OUT CAN YOU HELP ME?” Shouts Joe. 

The doctor reaches into his jacket pocket and scribbles out a prescription, tosses it down into the hole and then goes on his way.

 A little while later the pastor of Joe’s church is passing by notices Joe at the bottom of the hole.  Are you okay Joe?” asks the pastor. NO REVERAND, I SEEM TO HAVE FALLEN INTO THIS HOLE AND THE WALLS ARE TO STEEP FOR ME TO CLIMB OUT!” replies Joe. The pastor opens up his bible copies down a few verses and throws them into the hole and continues on his way. Joe is getting progressively more frustrated and begins to think is he going to meet his demise at the bottom of the hole when he sees an old friend peering down at him from the top of the hole.   HEY OLD FRIEND, I FELL INTO TO THIS HOLE AND CAN’T GET OUT!  I’M BEGGING YOU CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME?” Joe pleaded with tears in his eyes as he was now starting to panic.  SURE JOE NO PROBLEM!” The old friend shouted back and then immediately jumped into the hole with Joe. 

WHY DID YOU DO THAT? NOW WE ARE BOTH STUCK DOWN HERE IN THIS INFERNAL HOLE! “ Joe screamed as he was now extremely scared. 

 

The old friend just smiled at Joe and said. 

 

Don’t worry Joe, I’ve been down in this same hole before and I know the way out!

  

(Thank God so many of you jump into those holes with me!)    Wink

    There's A Hole In My Sidewalk
    Chapter One


    I walk down a street and there's a big hole. I don't see it and fall into it. It's dark and hopeless and it takes me a long time to find my way out. It's not my fault !

    Chapter Two

    I walk down the same street. There's a big hole and I can see it, but I still fall in. It's dark and hopeless and it takes me a long time to get out. It's still not my fault.

    Chapter Three

    I walk down a street. There's a big hole. I can see it, but I still fall in. It's become a habit. But I keep my eyes open and get out immediately. It is my fault.

    Chapter Four

    I walk down a street. There's a big hole. And I walk around it.

    Chapter Five

    I walk down a different street.
