Traffic, traffic, traffic...I'm not sure where you live but here in Birmingham we have traffic with a capital "T"!! About every 15 minutes or so you'll get a live traffic report during the morning and evening rush hour. Today my normal route to work was closed due to an accident with a fatality (Lord bless that precious family!) and it took me almost an hour to get to work. I had to weave in and out of side streets that aren't familiar to me and sit through one red light several times due to the amount of traffic.
With each traffic report it seemed like something new was added. The radio DJs were trying to help those of us who were lost and give ideas of ways to re-route our way. "Try 20th Street"..."Go over the mountain"...all the while I'm thinking to myself what if you're no where near the mountain?!?! Cars were everywhere and a few times patience was running thin but for the most part I think everyone just sucked it up and made it through.
As I was listening to the traffic reports I started thinking that it is nice to be able to have a heads up on stumbling blocks in your day. Too bad I don't have those for my life I thought to myself. Wouldn't it be great to have caution signs and blinking lights saying turn around, back up, or maybe over here...over here!!
The sad thing is...I do have a traffic report but due to my own sinful self I fail to turn it on and listen to it. "By your words I can see where I'm going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path." Psalm 119:105 (MSG). Honestly, I'm so convicted at this moment I really have no idea how to end this blog. So....I guess it's one of those moments in life where it's ENOUGH SAID!
