The other night, our oldest boy Brady was tossing a coin in the air. As he flipped it he watched it closely as it spun end over end. He would then catch it in his hand and ask me to guess whether it was heads or tails.
The odds of many things in our lives are just like that, heads or tails. The choice is ours to make and its either going to be a good choice or a less than good choice. The reason I say it like that is the difference between many choices in our lives doesn't always come down to good or bad--black or white. There are oftentimes choices that are better than a particular one but both are good, nonetheless. Common sense is the key in all of this. I believe that many times we are on the right track but we get caught up in being so 'letter of the law' that we miss good opportunities to make correct and sound choices.
Sometimes its not as cut and dry as heads and tails but Brady tossing the coin allowed me to look closer, and from a different perspective.
