We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in 2008. Our children helped us celebrate with an all expense paid all arranged vacation In Hawaii.

Minister and author, James Emery White wrote that his wife asked him if he knew why it takes one million sperm to fertilize a single female egg. He replied that he didn't know. "Because," she deadpanned, "none of them will ever stop and ask for directions."
Men fail to find the humor in that joke. But even for us guys, the first step toward obedience is stopping to get directions, and those directions are found in the Bible.
Can't you just see God standing in the middle of life's intersections, His hands upraised, stopping the traffic of humanity to tell us: "Just read the Book! That's why I wrote it!" When it comes to obedience, the writer of Psalm 119 revealed one of the great secrets of life: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path."
The directions are there. All we have to do is read them.

So true. All our answers are just there in the Book of Books, if we would just take the time to read it!
Thanks for the post.
I thank God everyday for His direction! Thanks!

God bless you today. So, truthfully, do you stop and ask for directions now? tee hee My husband has a built in gps system and it's pretty dependable because he is slow to inquire. But, he is fast to go to the Word for Life. He is soooo excited to be retiring from insurance and finishing his theology degree as of April. We'll see how God leads in ministry after that. He has been bi-vocational for 6 years but has taught Bible for 35 years.
God bless,
Jennifer
