The Disadvantages of 'Second Chance'

There is a catch here, I mean with the chosen title of this long-overdue writing from my stable. First of all, I have to tell you that the title came about after my time listening to Whitney Houston's latest album. She still sounds her old self but a bit weak. Good a thing, I'm not a critic of that genre of the entertainment world but I have been an ardent listener and fan of the old lady before her avoidable fall from grace. The other day in my status comment on Facebook, I wrote that we should all hold on to the grace because once it is lost, we stand displaced and disgraced. But now, the notion of Second Chance(s) has cast a bit of doubt on that claim. One can now eat his/her cake and have some of them back it seems I am saying.
Now, don't you get carried away with any of these assertions. Something gives once you fall from grace to something everyone finds disgusting. You should count yourself lucky when you suffer a fall and get back on your feet once again. Now you will agree with me that this whole thing has a ring of confusion to it. My drift here is the fact that we should always strife to maintain space on high moral pedestrian. No one is a saint or an angel anyway, hence my push for going out of our ways to make sure we keep the light of our lives burning on top the table for the world to see.
Whitney Houston did nothing wrong in going out of her way to get a man of her dream in spite of the age-difference. What went wrong with her is not the burden of this write-up but we can always learn from her travails and thank God she was able to get back to grace.
The disadvantages of 'Second Chance' involve among other things - loss of respect from people who use to see you as their hero, that initial grace and the fact that you are never the same after your experience. It is on the inside. Some people who came back from fall from grace end up becoming such ambassadors of the cause of their fall from grace so that other people would learn from their mistakes.
Please pray, don't be a victim of second chance.
