So the other day, Daddy David was using the wooden game (Jenga) and chess to teach king David Socapa kids cognitive/critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and how creating balance is a key quality of good leadership. While they arranged the games, I went to attend to the beginners. Suddenly, a boy named Tersoo from another group came over and scattered the arranged game pieces of another group.
One boy, Jerry, got so angry he chased after Tersoo and knocked him on the head. Tersoo cried so seriously it disrupted everything we were doing. The whole class panicked; we all rushed to the scene. When I arrived, Jerry said, "Tersoo scattered our game and ran!" Tersoo admitted, "Yes, I did it... but I was just playing! Why did Jerry hit me? Now I have a headache!"
I was furious. I asked Jerry, "Did you tell me first?" He said no. I told him, "Go wait for me at the Nothing Corner."
Then I asked Tersoo, "Why did you do it?" He stayed silent. I said, "Nice one. You just left your group, went to another group, and scattered their game—which was meant to be a lesson. How could you?"
My voice shook with rage... but Tersoo has these big brown eyes. He held my gaze like he’d been taught to, already regretful. I couldn’t stay harsh. I sent him to the Nothing Corner too.
It took us another 20 minutes to settle down. By then, we’d lost focus—and class time was over. I dismissed them for their next lesson.
That day, I realized something:
Sometimes life doesn’t take things from us. It distracts us.
It pulls us from our purpose, our focus, our dreams—using our own anger, flaws, pain, or unforgiveness. We paint pictures in our minds and react based on that limited view. But that perspective? It can be completely wrong compared to what God reveals for our lives.
Truth is, no matter what happens:
Let go. Get back on track. Run your race.
Distractions will always come.
Happy Sunday,
Daddy David 🌟
Have a great weekend.
