Dr. James Dobson, (whom I once had the privilege of meeting and speaking with), once told a humorous personal story on his “Focus on the Family” radio program.
It seems when his son, Ryan, was maybe four or five, he toddled up to the back of a pickup truck, and decided he would climb up on the back bumper. Unbeknownst to him, his father was standing a few feet behind him; in case he needed assistance.
By now Ryan had one hand on the tailgate, and one foot on the bumper. However, one arm and one foot were suspended in mid-air, and he was left dangling “between the heavens and the earth.”
Realizing his dilemma, Ryan screamed,
“Somebody help the boy!”
In so many ways and on so many days, I think we have all been in the place where Ryan found himself.
