My Dad Had To Be The Worse Driver I've Ever Met. ...
Contributed by Hugh W. Davidson on Mar 13, 2009 (message contributor)
My dad had to be the worse driver I’ve ever met. When I was a kid he had wrecked 9 cars in 8 years. I think he saw life as a demolition derby and his only goal was to get through it alive. The funny thing was; as he got older he became extremely nervous and he started blowing the horn whenever he saw someone else coming down the road; he was always afraid they’d hit him. I told him one day, “If you don’t stop blowing that horn I might hit you.” You see, as far as he was concerned everybody in the world was a worse driver than he was.
And to be honest; when I first started driving I was no different. I was always on the verge of losing my license for speeding and I remember when I went to work as a salesman and they gave me a brand new car. (Man, was that ever dumb.) I took that car straight up to the 401 to see how fast it would go and when I blew the engine it had 3 miles on the odometer. No one told me you were supposed to break it in first. The problem was; I drove like my father. Driving was a means of recreation not transportation. And, whether we realize it or not, our kids copy the things we do.

Three Choices That Can Change Your Life
Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Feb 9, 2020
‘Choice’ is something that begins with God. God chose to keep the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the center of garden, so there was no chance of Adam & Eve missing it. And God passed on this gift of choice to mankind. The choices that we make in our everyday life determine our future.
