Just imagine. You are driving on a four-lane highway. There are no other cars in sight and no police to be found. No. Just you and the open road. Want to change lanes? Go ahead and don't worry about signaling because you are the only one on the road. As a matter of fact, go ahead and change two, three or even all four lanes at a time. And forget about checking the mirrors, just change lanes as you please. Remember, it's just you and the open road. Miss your exit? No problem. Just back up. Or better yet, turn around and go the opposite direction in the same lane. There is no one else to worry about. Just you and the open road.
We cannot afford to live our lives as if we were on the open road. You know, live them as if no one else was around. For our actions no matter how small or large, have the potential of impacting someone else. There are people around us all the time, whether we know them or not. And we just don't know who is watching, who is listening, who is observing. At times the impact of our actions and words may not be immediate but will show up down the road. As children of God, we have a responsibility to conduct our lives so that 'when' impacts are made upon others, they are positive ones. Whether we are at home, at work, at school, on the phone or in the market place, we must carry ourselves knowing that we are not the only ones on the road and that others will be affected by what we say and do. The Open Road.
