Upside Down
by PamFord Davis

I was no junior gymnast; I did roll down the hill in our Mycenae, New York yard. It really wasn’t much of a hill; more of a slope. Yet; it was perfect for somersaults. I was not the only one that tucked and rolled.

There were 5 children in our family and I’d guess our neighborhood friends took turns too. Now, at age 72, my results would be laughable. I take that back; they’d be disastrous.

What about standing on my head?

Yes, I tried that too.

Today?

Some days, standing on my feet too long is a challenge.

Besides, why would I want to stand on my head?

I’d be seeing things upside down.

“Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, ‘This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.’ And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas.

But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, ‘These who have turned the world upside down have come here too (Acts 17:2-5 NKJV).”
