[QUOTE="Rescue1, post: 563427, member: 280"] Just a little something that came to me this morning. The Rock and the Ripple, I can remember many times back in my youth when I, my brother (Todd), and my dad would go fishing at Lake Chinnabee in the Talladega National Forest. We often times just sat back on the banks waiting on the fish to start biting. When they were not biting, me and my brother would like to throw rocks into the lake to see which one of us could either throw it the farthest or which one could make the biggest splash. Me and Todd would be having a grand O’l time doing this, on the other hand my dad was not amused. “You’re scaring the fish away!” he would say. Back then I didn’t pay much attention to the ripples (or waves) that came off the splash, nor did I pay any attention to how far they went out from the splash or how they reacted to the stumps and limbs sticking up out of the water’s surface. Now that I am older and see things just a little differently, I started to notice I sometimes would over look. This has often times help me see the bigger picture played out on a bigger scale. I pay a little more attention to the details such as not only how far the waves go out from the point of the splash, but how after reaching the banks of the lake, they would return back to the point from which they came. I also see how they react to the stumps or limbs sticking either in or out of the water. Seeing how not only would the ripple (the one coming off the stump/limb) would return back to the source sooner than the ones having to go all the way to the bank, but came back stronger also. This got me to thinking how we are casting our own stones into the lake of life and how we are reacting to the ones thrown into our own lake of life. Now if we casted a bad stone (a lie, something hurtful, something offensive, ie.), how would the people inside your lake would react to it? How many people, friends, family, or co-workers would reverb a bad ripple back? How many of them would just leave your circle and not comeback? I guess my question is what kind of stone are you throwing? Are you throwing a bad one or good ones and how are you reacting to the ones thrown into your lake? [/QUOTE]
