THE FORK IN THE ROAD

Friday, July 21, 2006

Yogi Berra, the legendary former catcher for the New York Yankees is famous for his use of words. One of his famous “Yogisms” is: “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

This piece of advice is not as strange as it sounds. There is the truth that when we come to a fork in the road of life, we have to go one way or the other. We can’t just stand there forever. And we can’t wait for someone else to come along and make the choice for us.

We are constantly facing forks in the road of our lives—and the road we take at these decisive moments will help to shape our lives. It is important that we learn to recognize the true nature of the choices before us, and then make the right choice. This is the first step toward a life of integrity.

Don’t just take the easy road—take the narrow road. Jesus said that is the road that leads to life. Tough decisions? Yes, every day. But you don’t have to go it alone.

If you do what is right, it will be alright!
