in conversation with ruthus willus

my little sister used to do gymnastics. then she transitioned into competitive diving. but her coaches always told her never, ever to practice both gymnastics and diving at the same time. you see, in diving, it's ok to land on your head--that's often how you enter the water. but in gymnastics, if you land on your head, you've got some serious injuries coming your way. sometimes in the minds of young athletes, these two worlds--gymnastics and diving--got mixed up, and someone inevitably landed on their head and injured their neck while tumbling across the floor.

i wonder if it's the same with different ministry settings. that is, in the grantham vs. new hope argument, will i risk serious injuries if i continue to serve them both at the same time? will i subconsciously forget which event i'm attending and say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing? will i screw up?
