Changin’ My Tune!!! And My Blog!

I have one of those fancy-dan recliners with buttons to make the foot rest go up and down. There’s even a plug for a USB cord. Cool, huh?

If you are duly impressed, you should see my 2 year old grandson’s reaction. Having buttons that Grammie lets him fiddle with is heaven. Having the chair move with every push of a button is a real bonus!

I loved watching him explore cause and effect. I can’t get in the chair without thinking of Dylan learning.

I was going to write this sweet little blog about Dylan and my chair and give you all sorts of mind numbing life applications.

WELL! I’m here to tell you that my scary experiences with that dern chair will forever be seared in my brain. Like some snowflake, I have been thoroughly traumatized by the thing!

I was sitting in the recliner with my feet up, writing peacefully, glancing occasionally outside at the rain. All was well in my world.

UNTIL

I hadn’t seen any lightning, but I heard a giant pop and crack. That sound was immediately followed by the electricity going out.  I realized I was in trouble. I was sitting in a light weight recliner, and I knew my heavy weight would tilt the chair if I tried to get out of it unassisted. Plus, I was afraid I would fall and ruin my new knees. I was unwilling to get out without help, so I called for Ronald. He was sitting on the front porch and couldn’t hear me. Thankfully we both had our phones. I called for my hero to haul my fat backside out of the chair.

After a few tugs, pulls, and adjustments that would have won one of those funny video competitions, I was out safely.

I have learned my lesson. ‘Cause when it’s raining, the effect will be to get in an old-fashioned chair that I can get out of safely!

You know I have to give a life lesson. Here goes. It may take a leap of thought to get there, but think on it anyway.

Joshua told the people “Choose today whom you will serve. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!”

Every choice we make has consequences. Cause/Effect, get it?

Blessings
