Life's Navigator

I had been thinking lately about the twist, turns and detours that Life's road takes a person. The road usually begins out of high school. Everyday things are new. First college semester, first job, first vote and first girlfriend. There are also many first that appear to be negatives. First F, first job lost and first exgirlfriend. And the road continues pulling you along and after awhile the newness of life becomes something called "Wisdom Ave". The old saying "been around the block" or"been down that road before" or "dead end" appear . And when one really hits the cruise control we hear "Taking the high road" "a new path" or "smooth driving ahead." And no matter where we are on the road those pesky speed bumps appear. The secret to navigating this often tough but enjoyable journey is to remember the parts of the road that are under repair and to avoid them. And if we become lost there is ONE who is the ultimate "Navigator" who always knows the right road for us to take. The ultimate life question is not how long is the road? but rather how well did we follow the Navigator's directions? And Atlas is not His name.
