When Life Takes a Hit

A few years ago when Planet Jupiter took a hit by a comet which left a crater larger than our own planet, people began to wonder, “Could the same thing happen to Planet Earth right here?” Others, though more pragmatic, said, “Forget Jupiter. I’m getting direct hits right now that make the chances of getting swept into space by a stray comet seem nothing!”

They say, “My marriage has taken a hit!”

“My health has taken a hit!”

“My job is about to play out on me, and I don’t know how I can feed my family!”
