My stomach does doggie tricks on a roller coaster. No, I'm definitely NOT a roller coaster person. I should have known better than to get on it when I saw that warning sign posted on the wall before you enter, giving a list of those who shouldn't even think about getting on. It also didn't enter my mind beforehand that no one was going to stop the thing in the middle of the ride and let me get off if I didn't like it. The roller coaster ride reminds us too much of life.
Life can be, and often is, like a roller coaster ride.
One minute you're up, the next you're down, then comes a sudden turn or twist you didn't anticipate, and all of a sudden your stomach is in your throat and you don't feel so good. And there are accidents, times when the roller coaster jumps the tracks and life is in turmoil. Sometimes these events are caused by things over which we have no control, and sometimes we cause them ourselves. But either way, we have to deal with the outcome.
