Ever feel like a bowling pin in the middle of the lane?

**Ever feel like you're standing in the lane of a bowling alley? **
Sometimes you can't see trouble coming towards you,  you don't know it's coming and it runs right up to your face so quickly that you can't blink.
     Sometimes you know trouble is coming because you know that you set up the situations that would open the door for it to come.  Well, if you see trouble coming and you don't get off that lane, or at least move out of it's way, trouble can knock you flat.  Don't be like the poor bowling pin. It sits right in the middle of the lane and it doesn't move.  It sees the bowling ball coming down the lane and it just stares at the ball.  Sometimes the ball goes into the gutter and as the pin gives a sigh of relief,  it's enemies groan because they wanted to see it fall down.   The pin was so relieved to be spared that it relaxed.  Another ball comes down the lane and the pin closes it's eyes and it gets smacked into the next  lane. It's enemies cheer.
   In life we can be like the little bowling pins in the bowling alley.....or not. See trouble coming? Don't close your eyes and stand there. Get out of the way.
