Ooops!

    So the band is playing "Open The Eyes of My Heart" the other night and Chaka (on guitar) starts playing something else. Ooops! It's not like the song the band was playing stunk or anything. If fact...it was beyond beautiful - except for Charlie. Erin and Debbie were singing angelicly, and I found myself feeling as if I was auditorily entering Paul's higher levels of heaven. Well, Charlie turns after about 8-13 seconds, I didn't really count - it just felt like that - and told us techies that he was so busy listening to the girls sounding so other-worldly that he forgot what he was doing. Ooops!

    I've done that, haven't you?!?! I've just dazed off heavily involved in any of the other senses (sight, smell, taste, sound, etc...) and WHAM! I've missed something I was supposed to do, or hit something I wasn't supposed to hit, and hopefully not hurt anyone. Ooops! Thank God our God is the One who gives second chances. (I hope you caught that plural.) We often screw-up more than once, and usually it's longer than 8-13 seconds, but our God is a God of infinite "seconds." (And I'm talking about chances now, not time.) 

    So I guess I'm saying, as long as your "Ooops" isn't a sin, enjoy what God gave us. Chaka did! Although, there are unfortunate re-sounding consequences for everything, good and bad in our lives. Remember to do what Charlie did Thursday, say your sorry, and repent. That is the only requirement for another round with God..., don't abuse it though.
