Here's The Map

In my last post I said something about getting where your going. I think I'll keep this short and sweet. Heaven, most people that I've talked to want to go there. Problem is few people know how to get there. So here's the map. Jesus said  "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me."  There you have it. Jesus is the way to heaven. All you need to do if you want to go there is get the map and follow directions.

A Day In The Life

A day in the life of a truck driver. Not one of my typical days. Typically, I would spend most of my day driving. That's my job. Or I might spend too much time at loading docks, and then drive half the night. Shh don't tell the D.O.T. But not today, or I should say yesterday, it's after midnight. I did drive a little, far enough to get to my next fuel stop. Then I hung out at a truck stop for the rest of the day. I'd rather be driving! Except that I got to pay some attention to my puppy today. Her picture graces this blog. And I chatted with a friend online for awhile. I enjoyed both activities very much. And now, since I have all my driving time available, I think I'll go for a midnight ride. Make it another typical day in the life of a truck driver. And remember, if you want to get where your going, follow the directions, or you will wind up someplace you don't want to be. More on that later. May the good Lord guide you until then.

Freedom

TweetMemorial Day, first one since my Dad died. He was in the Navy during the Korean conflict so it was a military funeral. I really have a hard time with military funerals, they seem to be more sad than civilian funerals some how. When taps is played I always have a meltdown right then and there. At any rate I am grateful to all who have served or are serving in our armed forces. Freedom is not free, I know it comes with a terrible price.

Easy Does It

I was signed up on one of those social networking sites for a few days. It was fun for awhile until......
some lady started to flirt with me a little too aggressively. Thought I had made it clear that I was not
looking for any serious relationship. I joined the site cuz I thought it would be fun to get to know people
from around the world and what its like in their neck of the woods. So a word of advice to all you ladies
out there, easy does it, less is more. It just seems a little desperate when you come on strong.

The Sky Is Falling

Another prediction that the world will end on a specific date. I think the big event is set to occur on May 21. Come on back on the 22nd of May to have a good laugh with me. God says clearly in the Bible that there will be an end to this world. He does not say when. In fact He specifically says that we don't need to know when the end will be. And that's just how God rolls. He tells us what we need to know, nothing more and nothing less. So we know Jesus is coming back. And we need to be ready to meet Him when He does. 

When Driving, Stay On Task

This is for all you folks out there that think your a good driver. If you are in the habit of tailgating, you are not a good driver. If you exceed the speed limit to the point of recklessness, say 10 mph. over the posted speed limit, you are not a good driver. If you fly up the inside lane and cross 2 or 3 lanes so you can make your exit, you are not a good driver. If you travel slow in the fast lane, you are not a good driver. If you run with the pack in the left lane, you are not a good driver. If you fail to obey yeild signs, even those on entrance ramps to the interstate, you are not a good driver. If you cut in front of another vehicle, and then slow down to get off the highway, you are not a good driver. If you talk, text, or surf the web on your cell phone while you are driving, you are not a good driver. When driving, stay on task, the life you save may be your own.

I just started reading Steven Tyler's biography, Does the noise in my head bother you. Very enjoyable read so far. He writes well and I find myself being drawn into the book. I hope the rest of it is as good as the first couple of chapters.
