If you’re not familiar with Upward Basketball let me give you a little background… children are given green stars at every practice for memorizing Bible verses and then at games they are given a colored star. Each color stands for something like Best Offense, Best Defense, Sportsmanlike, etc.
But the white star is Christlikeness.
Now you know. I can continue. 
Now here’s the conversation…
Samara: Mom! I got the white star today. I’m Christlike.
Me: How come you got the white star today?
Samara: I tripped five people.
And she stopped. She said no more.
Me: You got the white star for tripping 5 people? (By this time everyone around me was doing their best not to bust out laughing.)
Samara: No, because I said I was sorry each time. That’s why I’m Christlike. You can mess up and just say you’re sorry and then it’s all okay.
There you have it.
You can trip whomever you would like, just make sure you say you’re sorry.
Until next time…

Isn’t it beautiful, though, that we can mess up but when we tell Jesus we’re sorry, He has made it OK?
I’ll try to avoid tripping others, but since I know I will still do it sometimes, I’m glad I can just say I’m sorry! *grin*
