day 2180: Recalls

“For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.”

While Recalls are a hassle for consumers, a serious Recall can do serious damage to a company and its brand.  Think: Samsung Galaxy, Takata Airbags, and Volkswagen.  One day everything is going great and then the next day all attention goes not to outflow but inflow, which is about the most unnatural act for any manufacturer or service.  But, it happens and we should all be reminded of how important it is to get things right the first time.

My Mother-in-Law sent me a cute notice from her Church:  “The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code-named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been identified as “Subsequential Internal Non-Morality,” more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.”  I laughed when I read it and then I was reminded that I too will malfunction today and that I need to be on the lookout for the warning signs and yes, I was myself reminded that we are all part of His planned and glorious Recall.
