"Hey dude, where is the nearest liquor store?"

"Do you know where Frankford street is?"

Not too uncommon for people to not know where they are going. How many times have we found ourselves at the mercy of gas station attendants? These 2 questions were asked of us the other day at the gas station. Unfortunately, we couldn't point them in the right direction. But it got me thinking. Whether we realize it or not, we are all looking for the right way. Some of us are comfortable in our homes, our town, our cities, our cars, our jobs, ect. But where will that path lead? Do we really know where it leads? A life lived at our potential, the college degree, the good job, the high salary, the promotions, the kids, the grandkids, retirement...then what? Death? What happens after we die? Is this the path we were created for? What if we sought after a path that led to something more...something more than a legacy created on earth, more than a van full of grandkids, more than a financial trust?

Instead of, 'where is the nearest liquor store' what if we asked, "what do i do to receive eternal life?"

Instead of asking for Frankford street, what if we asked for the road that leads to righteousness, to right standing with our Maker, the road that leads to peace?'

How would we live different? What path are you on?
