Yesterday, as I was driving to Post, I saw a rather comical sight. I was driving down the highway and saw a “Road Closed” sign for a crossroad. The sign said, “Route 281 Closed, Find Alternate Route.” Maybe it’s just me but I chuckled when I saw the sign. Typically, when a road is closed, a detour is offered.
We have all seen signs like, “Highway 6 Closed, Follow Detour,” or something to that effect – but not in this instance. If I had needed to turn down that crossroad, I would have been up a creek. Basically, the message was – “We don’t care how you get where you are trying to go but you aren’t going this way. You’re on your own! Good luck.”
Aren’t you glad that on the journey to God, the pathway is clear. If we ever get off track, all we have to do is remember Jesus’ words: “I am the way . . . no one comes to the Father except by way of me.” Jesus never said, “Bummer for you – you are on your own” but rather he made statements like: “Come to me” and “follow me.”
Just remember that life is full of curves and ups and downs, but your path is sure as long as you follow Jesus.
Be blessed today!

Maybe I am particularly emotional today, but I just read this and the L.A. view post and both touched me deeply.
Thank you for your daily contribution!
