There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. I don’t know whether or not it’s age or attitude, but I have noticed that I no longer rush to get anywhere these days. Most of the time when I am driving I know that the person behind me is wondering if I am taking a Sunday stroll on a Monday. Thank God that I have a part-time job where I don’t have to be to work early in the morning. On those rare occasions when I do have somewhere to be before 9am, I find myself in a world that is very unfamiliar to me. Even when I stay in the right lane people still try to run me over. It makes me wonder if everybody else left home late. No matter what time I have to be somewhere, I always allow myself an extra fifteen minutes; sometimes a half hour if I don’t know exactly where I’m going. I think it’s very unfair to get on the highway at the last minute and jeopardize everyone else’s life for your failure to leave home on time. Maybe it’s just me or maybe it really is old age! I’ve heard that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Perhaps someone needs to tell my GPS system that! But the interesting thing is that whenever I follow my GPS I get to see things and places that I did not know existed. Sometimes I even find shortcuts to other places that I have traveled. There are times when I am discussing a location with someone and they call out a street that I have passed a few weeks ago while I was taking my Sunday stroll. An unfamiliar journey just might show you things that you need to know or see. So go ahead and take the road less traveled today, and stay in the right lane as others pass you by, while you’re enjoying the beauty of God’s creation.
