CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Recycled word from Big Ball last week. A couple days ago one of my students mentioned learning about cascading failure, meaning one unchecked problem leads to another, which leads to another, and so on. He said he feels like he sees that happen in his own life. My initial response was to point out that that doesn’t necessarily apply to us, since we aren’t machines and not all aspects of our lives are related to one another. But then I realized that I’m currently allowing myself to experience cascading failure. I’ve been having some serious pain in my stomach, which led to me not working out for a month, which led to me not getting up early, which led to me not going to bed early, which led to me wasting time on things like TV at night instead of reading and getting good rest, which has also led to me eating less healthy, which all of this has led to me being more irritable towards others and to spending less time in the Word. Taking time off from exercise to recover is fine, but it doesn’t mean I have to give up getting up early and eating well and getting good rest. So I encouraged us not to allow what Paul calls “a thorn in our sides” to become a cascading failure.
