On the way to church this past Sunday, we saw an elderly lady trying to walk down a footpath over a small hill but was slipping alot. Of course, I immediately raced to go and help her before she falls! As I raced out after her to be her hero, I failed to consider the fact that what I was racing onto was a path of ice! On my second step, I completely wiped out, head over heels, and upon my landing proceeded to slide down the path towards the elderly lady I was attempting to aid. Meanwhile, Katie is at the top of the hill, hand covering her mouth and eyes wide in utter shock at these events. With all my strength I tried to stop myself from totally taking out this old lady. I finally managed to come to a stop just behind the lady, only gently grazing her leg. Upon noticing my unexpected presence beside her, we met eyes and I was speechless. Luckily, she bagan to laugh, looked back up the hill towards my wife, and motioned for her not to follow, but to go over and use the stairs. Moral of the story: One should never allow good intentions to override wisdom. Otherwise, you might just find yourself bowling for grannies someday!
