LEAPFROGGING THROUGH LIFE

If you are not familiar with the term “leapfrog,” just ask anyone who lived during that great generation of the 40’s. It was a game we played along with “kick-the-can,” “hide-and-seek,” and “king of the hill,” etc.

Many adults, in our present day, are still playing this children’s game I enjoyed in my youth. But theirs is much more serious than our adolescent activity was. It’s possible to be a child in grownup clothing.

It’s a serious thing to pass over individual responsibility for personal enjoyment; sound doctrine for emotional devotion; doing the next thing for doing the second thing; the truth for a pseudo love; and duty for delight.

Dear reader, are you one of us who has a list of major things in your past you wish you’d not have passed over? If so, I leave you with these words of encouragement from the pen of C.S. Lewis:

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
