My childhood included Ping the Duck, too. I loved how you wove such a beautiful metaphor into such an applicable lesson. Thanks!

In reply to Susanne. I am so glad it resonated with you, Susanne! It was such an eye-opening metaphor to me, and I'm glad it spoke to you as well. You're right — repentance is ALWAYS better than the alternative. Thank you for your sweet comment!

Isn’t it interesting how each of us build up our fears of the ‘what if’ instead of having the courage to actually find out if it’s true? (Even when we know it’s true, LOL.) Repentance is always better than not repenting.

Makes me think of how faith and fear are such total opposites.

I loved this analogy and hope I can remember it when I have to fight my feelings of fear, shame, and embarrassment when it’s time to admit to a mistake, weakness, or wrong choice. Thanks for giving me some great food for thought today.
