I was walking down a street and I fell into a hole. I wondered how I got there. I asked the Lord for help and he helped me out of the hole.
The next day I was walking down the same street and I saw the hole. I fell into the hole again. I asked the Lord to help me out of the hole and he did.
On the third day I went walking down the same street and I knew that the hole was there so I looked up. Somehow, I fell into the hole again. I ask the Lord for help and he said, “I will be here but you’re going to have to help yourself this time.”
The fourth day came and I went walking down the same street. I knew that the hole was there, so, I jumped into the hole. I asked the Lord for help. He said, “Yes I am still here, but you’re going to have to help yourself out.”
The fifth day arrived and I went walking down the same street. I knew the hole was there so I crossed the street. All the while, watching that hole, I continue down the rest of the street.
The sixth day came and I really wanted to walk down that same street, but I knew that I could not and should not because I may be tempted to jump into the hole. I took another street.
On the seventh day I took the bus.
