The Roads Edge

Every day we are speeding fast down a winding highway. Dips, dives, turns, and all the while we drive, there is never a guardrail on the edge of the cliff we drive along. Many times we see a little more of the bottom of the cliff and a little less of the road before us. Its a perilous journey. But the road is not where we were meant to reside. It knows not where to lead us. Every turn is judged by our imperfect eyes. The only hope we have is to be put to the wind, and jump. Slam the gas pedal and go over the edge. Take the risk and believe in the impossible. For whenever you lose faith in the unlikely, it becomes impossible. There was once a story that a business man would drive the same route to work everyday, at the same time, in the same car, with the same suit. And everyday he drove the same path, he saw the same boy, on his same bike, with his same backpack, doing something quite impossible. The young boy would ride his bike along the edge of fences on his way to school. Finally one day the man left at a different time to stop the boy to ask him why he did that. The boy said, "I never really thought about it." The man stated he was doing the impossible. The next day, the boy was not on the fences. The business man never saw the boy again. But the point of the story is, when we are told that we are insane, crazy, impossible, or what we do can not be done, it becomes so. Then how do we gain back the bliss of ignorance before our unwanted education? Can we break free of knowledge that the cliff we drive over will lead us to our death, and embrace a new hope that with faith we can do anything and everything.

Philippians 4:13- "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
