On the Merry-Go-Round

When I was a kid we had these playground merry-go-rounds. Children would get on and push with their feet to get it going and then jump the rest of the way on to ride with the momentum. If someone came along later, they would run around until they got enough speed to grab the railing and jump on.

I got off the merry-go-round for the holidays but someone has already gotten it moving. I'm running, reaching for that rail, trying to get back on.

And that is why I haven't posted for four days...and don't know how much I'll be posting in the near future. If you think of it, pray for me, hanging onto the rail, running, trying to get the momentum to jump...
