Coming to mind is an experience had at the Amish-Mennonite church, where, one Friday night, the church met together to play volleyball in a local gymnasium across town. It had been years since volleyball had been played—probably 20 years or so. Since high school. And one of the responsibilities of the server, when one was up for the turn, was to keep track of the score. Upon arriving at the turns, and serving multiple times, and the ball being in play multiple rounds, score kept being forgotten to be kept by you know who. A sister, who is a schoolteacher, explained the error on the speaker’s part and how it is to be done. She then later on, probably ten minutes later, had to explain it again. The speaker could see her inner-anger mounting. A fear arouse that the speaker was going to be scolded for his iniquities. She was right, however. The game had agreed to be played, and it is was the responsibility of the server to do the right thing in keeping the score. Thankfully, she later got over it, and didn’t hold it against the rookie player.
