I went to my barber to get a haircut last Thursday. As I am getting older, I only need to have a trim every five weeks or so.

The gentleman who does my hair always starts shampooing it before cutting it.

For some odd reason, as my hair was being rinsed that day, the barber mistakenly allowed the hose to hit the backside of my neck and drench my outer shirt and undershirt, all the way from the neckline to waistline.

The barber was quite embarrassed and apologized profusely. I simply replied that it was not a big deal, and I said I would be driving home afterwards and that I would change my clothes before leaving for my next commitment.

Sometimes mistakes in life happen. We have the prerogative of getting upset at such times or simply letting it go, taking it in stride.

In today’s crazy world, I think we should make a conscious effort to go with the flow if an innocent accident occurs. Doing so sure makes life easier for all involved.

I think that is what Jesus would do.
