Little John and his buddies, Big Howard and Ole' Dean were just old enough to be a bit mischievous. They were always looking for something exciting to do.....no laying around for those guys.
"Hey, let's us go over to my place and climb up in the barn loft and see if that old cat has had them kittens yet," chimed in Big Howard.
"Yea, that's a good idea, lets go!" Ole' Dean said. And, off they ran.
"Last 'un up 'at ladder is a rottin' egg", said Little John, as he took off in a dead run.
They scrambled up the ladder laughing and shoving each other. When they reached the barn loft, they all fell over holding their sides laughing.
"Ha Ha, Little John, you're the rotten egg" Ole' Dean yelled as he scrambled to his feet.
"I ain't neither" said Little John and he shoved Ole Dean up against a bale of hay.
After that, it was on. Ole' Dean grabbed Little John's cap and took off runnin' and yellin' "Rotten egg, Little John's a rotten egg!"
Little John wasn't afraid of a bear when he was a kid and he certainly wasn't gonna let Ole' Dean mess up his cap. After all, that was the only cap he had.
Round and round they went, Ole' Dean tauntin' Little John while Big Howard egged him on. Ole' Dean tucked Little John's cap under his arm and took off runnin' across the barn loft looking back over his shoulder and laughing. The next thing Ole' Dean knew, he had run out the open barn door in the loft and was running in thin air. Thankfully, when he hit the ground, nothing was broken.
Sometimes we run away from God and loose our footing. We are literally running in thin air until we fall on our face. And, much of the time, unlike "Ole' Dean, we end up getting hurt. Is there something you are running from? Why not just hand it over to God and let Him work it out.
"Let him have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you." 1 Peter 5:7Living Bible (TLB)
