Frogger

Frogger is an old video game based on Leap-frog of physical games of yore. This in turn may’ve come from hopscotch (or vice-versa). All of this may’ve in turn come from the way the knight [horsy] moves in chess. Who knows?
It appears many have come to D.F. after playing a sort of Frogger game with bodies of Christ in the past. You can start off “Church of Christ”, go to the “Unitarians”, then land at D.F. You can start off “Catholic”, go to the “Southern Baptist”, then land at D.F. The combos could be infinite. As anyone reading this knows, we’re so glad souls land here when they do, we certainly don’t mind the hopscotch path they took. Those very journeys can be some of the best reserves from which to draw spiritual direction. Not just in the obvious sense, seeing as how we all draw direction from our past. More like as Tommy Tenny admonished: “Be prepared to give someone your yesterday today”, where it’s not your past helping you, but someone else’s past helping you or your past helping someone else.
When two or more folks are talking about God-stuff at the church-house, the majority recite (right off the bat) where they were before coming to Disciples Fellowship. Like when Beowulf recites his “business card” to the king. Some act a little annoyed, which is funny, ‘cause I’ve seen how much red tape is cut through when this action takes place. People are getting to know each other. It’s so cool when a few people talking have similar histories, they start to relate as soon as they realize it. It’s equally cool overhearing or being part of the opposite: a couple of seekers mutually intrigued by experiences far from their own.
I hope ya’ll know what I mean and can relate. If not, I hope this can interest you, enabling you to buy bonds & get your kids on centering prayer TODAY! :)
