DOUBLE DUTCH ANYONE ?

Double Dutch is playing jump rope with two ropes
and one or more people jumping simultaneously.
This involves at least three people total,
one or more jumping and two turning the ropes.
Great team work.  It is like a juggling act! 
While the jumping-rope is going on,
the two persons turning the ropes often recite
rhymes in rhythm. An example:



"Ice cream soda pop cherries on top,
how many calories have you got have you got?
Is it 100, 150, 200 or more have another helping
and skip some more" ~

crazy rantings as such...

My friend and I have been using it as an allegory to
trying to do several things at once.  Well it is confusing
and there is a rhythm needed to jump in it and to jump
back out again.  A major skill.   Being still and knowing that God is God is much easier.
No striving invovled.   :)

  1. Something that I can relate to, and find wonderfully appropriate after our conversations earlier.
