When I’m playing catch with my sons, the rule is, you have to end on a catch.

Sometimes, when it’s time to go inside — wouldn’t you know it — one of them quickly develops the tendency to drop a perfectly thrown ball.

“Oops?”

When we want the game to continue, sometimes we fail on purpose.

This can happen in many areas of our life. Depending on the game we’re playing, sometimes it can be fun to keep it going. Other times, it probably doesn’t serve us well.
