If you want to learn to be a stunt car driver, move to Atlanta! Interstate 85 (better known as the constipated colon road to Atlanta) is a real challange especially since the state government messed with the Hov lanes."(It's best to prepare for the unexpected, definitely unbelieveable occurances while traveling anywhere on I-85.) "The Mystery Drive," downtown promises to elevate your blood pressure and challange your righteousness and imagination every single time!
Imagine tooling 65 to 75 mph in 8 lanes of traffic, singing your favorite tunes and bebobing a little to relax. Now throw in a tail gator, who resembles a hemaroid. Don't forget to add the big trucks weaving in and out of lanes, just missing your car. You're in a middle lane, boxed in on all sides. The semi, just 2 car links ahead of you in the right lane, has a major blow out. Two of his tires blow almost simultaneously together. The cute little sports car, right in front of you, takes a huge hit from flying tire parts. Suddenly, there's no way to dodge flying fiberglass, impact is inevitable. It bounces on the pavement, just before it kisses my front end. Then, of course I roll over what was once part of a trunk. "Well $#!*" flys out of my mouth.
Of course, I've just had a treatment and all this makes me sick, but there's no place to throw up, so I swallow it. Lovely huh? That was my day. How was your day? : D I sure hope your day was better than mine. Actually, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Imagine how the sports car driver feels. He literally lost his hinnie! (That sports car wasn't so cute after the right rear panel and part of the trunk flew off.) He didn't stop either, we all just kept tooling up 85, thankful not to have been hurt. How many angels do you think God has watching main interstates? My guess is thousands on overtime!
What's my point? Although I try hard not to cuss-I do when I'm scared, mad or frustrated. That's one of my many sins. We all come short of the glory of God. Isn't it easier to admit our sins and ask others to pray for our weaknesses? Shouldn't we forgive and help each other? Please pray for me I travel I-85 and often loose control of my mouth.
"Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue is also a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell." James 3:5&6 (NIV)
