When you come to a fork in the road,
take it! –Yogi Berra
What to do next? I have five minutes, an hour, a lunch break, an evening, 2 open evenings this week, a year, 2 years, maybe. I have a lifetime, really. So there, what am I going to do?
It’s great being an autonomous human being! Don’t you agree? We get to do stuff! We get to make up our mind about what we want to do and then we get to do it! For example, today for lunch I walked across the street to Food Lion and bought, among approximately 2 million other choices, a package of sliced turkey, a package of sliced Colby Jack, a fresh bag of plain bagels, a gallon of milk, and a bar of Hershey’s Extra Dark w/ Macadamia Nuts and Cranberries. It really is that awesome!
Anyway, I’ve got a whole life ahead of me, and guess what? I get to decide what I’m going to do! I’ve already decided to follow Jesus. But I’m finding that he still leaves so much up to me. “How shall I follow him I serve” is very much an alive question for me now, and I think always will be. That’s a good thing, I am sure, though sometimes it gets wearisome, and sometimes scary. However, Jesus’ instructions are sometimes very specific, and at those times our choice is simple: to obey or not to obey.
Life is very much a dance. Now, how about some Extra Dark.

know how ya feel….hard to decide, especially when the opportunities in life come one at a time. Who knows if I’ll be handed the moon next year this time? If it comes, I think I’ll take it. I think it is great that our generation has so many options in the world.
