Dear Reader:
It might seem a stretch going from Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny to John Travolta in Phenomenon but both teach us lessons about the source of our problems and why we have trouble solving them.
In both cases Fudd and Travolta are looking in the wrong direction when it comes to solving rabbit problems. This is very obvious in the Disney cartoons with Fudd aiming at everything everywhere with no luck capturing the wiley escape artist-Bugs Bunny.
Travolta’s character is also looking in all the wrong places-as the scene unfolds…
Travolta’s character has done everything he can think of to keep a pesky rabbit out of his garden. His fencing goes three feet underground and still each morning all the plants are nibbled through.
One night Travolta awakens and realizes his mistake-he has been going about this problem all wrong. In the moonlight he opens the gate and waits. To his shock and surprise the rabbit scurries out. The rabbit had been trapped IN the garden and he had been inadvertently keeping it locked in!
So until tomorrow-how many times do we fence in and lock up our troubled feelings and personal problems -letting them eat at our roots-when we need to open the gate and let them out-turn them over to God.
