Sometimes you swerve off road and then manage to back on

Some people believe that you have to live everyday of your life for God and that you should never get off path. Although that is ideal, even the Pope can hits the gravel. "For all have sinned and all fall short of the Glory of God" Psalm 3:23.

Some time or another we will all hit the gravel and swerve back onto the tar. The gravel is a little bumpy and may be a little scary, but it usually doesn't last long, then you find your way back to the tar. Sometimes, though you can't find your way back and end up in the ditch. It will be a little harder to get back on the road; you just have to get a tow truck to pull you out. Sometimes you can get out yourself, it takes a lot of work but it is possible. But other times that tow truck is there for you, it holds on tight because it doesn't want you to fall any further. At this time, hold on tight. Take advantage of that help, and don't fight it. If your pull away, your truck will pull away, and their won't be any help until the next tow truck comes around.

I can really relate to this post (who can't, right!). I should keep a tow truck on call full time sometimes. Traci :)
