Dealing With the Duck Hunt Dog: Adding Insult to Injury
0It was HIM… it was always him. Long before I was taunted by villains like Sephiroth and Liquid Snake, and years prior to the first time I had someone troll me over my headset while playing Halo, there was this DOG. This dog was the first character who ever damaged my gaming self-esteem and made me actually TALK BACK to the screen. Bowser and Ganon may have been the first “big bad bosses” that I ever faced, but they never hurt me the way that this dog did. It was that LAUGH… that painful act of betrayal from man’s best friend as he popped up from the bushes to mock my failure after missing the ducks flying across the screen. I was supposed to be there hunting ducks… but they never felt like the actual enemies I was trying to defeat in the game. It was always the dog.
Join us as we take a deeper look at the original "hater" most of us dealt with in life, and reflect on the reality there will always be haters, trolls, griefers, and bullies who are going to pop up out of the bushes the moment we take our first steps towards the destiny that the Lord has for us. But we cannot allow them to live rent-free in our heads or give them one extra second of consideration… we have to shut them out of our heads and carry on with the Lord’s work. They can’t stop us from accomplishing the destiny the Lord has set for us… they can’t even slow us down unless we choose to let them.
