02/18/2002 Entry: "In a pit?"
Here's a Lent reflection I was sent the other day:
A man fell into a pit and he couldn't get out. BUDDHA said: "Your pit is only a state of mind." A HINDU said: "This pit is for purging you and making you more perfect." CONFUCIUS said: "If you would have listened to me, you would never have fallen into that pit." A NEW AGER said: "Maybe you should network with some other pit dwellers." A SELF-PITYING PERSON said: "You haven't seen anything until you've seen my pit." A JOURNALIST said: "Could I have the exclusive story on your pit?" A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL said: "Have you paid your taxes on that pit?" A PLANNING INSPECTOR said: "Do you have a permit for that pit?" A REALIST said: "That's a pit." An IDEALIST said: "The world shouldn't have pits." An OPTIMIST said: "Things could be worse." A PESSIMIST said: "Things will get worse." BUT JESUS, SEEING THE MAN, TOOK HIM BY THE HAND AND LIFTED HIM OUT OF THE PIT.
If you're in a pit, don't accept it. There is someone who can lift you out.

I like this one. I think we often get bogged down in our pits. We don't have to be. It's all about Truth.
