But We Get Up ...

Ed's Note: There is some truth to this but not all that much. It's mostly sarcasm, but take it however you wish to take it.

So one of my fellow bloggers called me mean for posting the video of the kid passing out during last year's spelling bee.

But it was an inspirational moment for me. Honestly. I saw it, and thought of the great Donnie McClurkin song, "We Fall Down."

The chorus says: We fall down, but we get up. For a saint is just a sinner who fell down, and got up.

Little man in the spelling bee passed out, and got up and still spelled his word. He fought through the adversity, and still did what he came to do, although he didn't win. He gave his all, and when he fell, he got up.

So stop hating. lol.

Oh yeah, congratulations to Katharine Close, who one this year's title. She's pictured above.
