Stopped at a red light the other morning, I watched a beetle scurrying across the road. He ran across three lanes of traffic, just in front of the tires of the momentarily stopped vehicles. He was only one lane away from freedom, and I smiled because I thought the little guy was going to make it...and then, un-explicably, he changed directions. The traffic light turned to green as the critter started his reverse trek and I knew he would never make it to the safety of the opposite side of the road. Why in the world did he change direction? I have no doubt that he met his demise because of that decision. Truth is, the script that comprises each of our lives is written by the ramifications of our decisions. Some choices you make provide an immediate result – like that experienced by the beetle. Other choices take time to bear fruit (or thorns?) Every choice has a consequence. Every action has a reaction. With that in mind, choose wisely, my friend.
