“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; August 26, 2008

          A few days ago, Jeane and I had the chance to be in New England and decided we would take in Cape Cod.  Initially, the Saturday afternoon trip to the beach seemed to be a breeze, then we hit a traffic jam … out in the middle of no where.  It seemed like everyone was trying to escape the city and head to the beach.  I had thoughts of saying something like they should make room for the tourists; but, there was way more of them than me, so we just turned north and visited Plymouth Rock.

          While most of us will do anything we can to avoid traffic jams, there is another kind of jam-up that affects most of us.  Just like the hoards of urbanites trying to escape the city for the beach, often, we try to escape the issues and concerns of our lives by running away.  The problem with this logic is two fold:  first the problem will still be there when we are forced to return and secondly, the longer we avoid the issue, the worse it gets.

          Is there something our lives that is troubling us?  If so, let’s not try to go away … let’s just let go and let God take us where we need to be.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
