BILLBOARDS!!!! Roads Signs!!!

-
Have you ever driven down the highway either two lane or four lane or more and been distracted by a Billboard or Road Sign?  Of course you have, we all have.  On my way to work the other day I began counting Billboards.  Some were stationary, some old, and some too old!  Some were digital (making you want to slow down below the speed limit to read or see all the advertisements) and some were small grabbing your attention to read the fine print.  Funny though, I don't remember what they were advertising.  But there is one thing for sure, I was distracted, and I don't even remember what the signs were saying.  Consumer 26, Vendor 0.  But what could I have been looking for?about Road Signs.  Speed Signs (ugh) reduce speed signs (double ugh).  There is one sign I would like to find but I believe they have all been taken down, "Resume Safe Speed".  Now I liked that one except it was normally followed by a  55 MPH 100 yards down the road.  But for the moment I resumed a safe speed, and at 16 years old several years ago you can imagine what the "safe speed" was for me.

The State Road Signs are there to guide us through safe driving.  Well I thank the Lord for cruise control.  But I can truthfully say I abide the State Road Signs for the most part.  I have never gotten but one warning ticket in my life and that was at 17 and another ticket when I was 24, quite a few years ago.

But why do I cover Billboards and Road Signs.  That's easy, the Road Signs are there to keep you safe and the Billboards are there to distract you.  Over the next few days we will cover what kind of distractions hurt us and what kind of safeguards protect us.

It's interesting about my daily highway drive.  I drive approximately 120 miles per day.  The highway upon which I travel is beginning to see the need for repairs, some major and some minor.  I complained about the need for repairs and now I am complaining about the construction zones through which I travel and it seems to be getting larger and SLOWER!

All of this is beginning to come together as we not only deal with BILLBOARDS and Road Signs but now we must add in........... THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE!!!!!

Distractions (Billboards), Guidance (Road Signs) and now, the Construction Zone!  Yes, it ALL hits us at the same time.

See you tomorrow in the Construction Zone!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~

David Calls Out!

-
Psalms 55: 1   Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.  My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught.  (NIV) David is going through some tough times here.  He is calling out to God for relief.  He knows God will hear him. We should approach God the same way.  It is clear that David has this unlimited trust in the Father.  David has a relationship with Him and God enjoys pouring out His love and grace on those who trust Him to do so.  At the end of this Psalm we see a new David.  Vs.23 closes with: But as for me, I trust in you. Regardless of any circumstances God is near and ready to hear you call out to Him.  Yes, our thoughts can trouble us.  As men we have a different thought life.  We know how bad it can be at times to concentrate on God in prayer only to find our mind wandering to an area it shouldn’t be.  Don’t worry God hears and knows your heart, and rescue is on the wa...

The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper

-
  Promise Keepers 1993-2024-2 The attendance of that conference in Indianapolis Indiana at the Hosier Dome was a little over 70,000. Many conferences over the next several years averaged between 60,000 and 70,000. Several conferences were held throughout the year, mostly from early summer into mid-fall. Some conferences were held in open stadiums and others held in enclosed arenas. One was even held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before we get into the individual promises, I have listed the seven promises below to give you an idea of the direction we will be following. I am currently working on a biography covering the years I was able to attend the conferences. Several years we were able to attend more than one conference and sometimes three. At the time the individual admission was $72.00 per person. Most of the men were from young families and the admission price was hard to come by, plus we had to add the cost for an overnight stay which var...

Instructions Of A Father

-
Proverbs 4: 1   Hear O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding, (NASB) As I look at this verse for the day I see the seriousness of our responsibilities as fathers to our children. Just as we are to look to our heavenly Father for His wisdom applied to our lives through His Word, our children look to us so that they too, in life, will  gain understanding .  How prepared are we as dads to reveal to our children the truths of life as revealed in the Bible. The first thing they see is our walk. We can say all we want, but unless our walk reflects what we say, our children will not take what we say seriously. At times they will test us and push us to the limit. We MUST stick to our convictions. We also must fulfill the promises we have made to our kids. If we told them we would be there for them at a game, or some performance, or activity, we better be there. If we are not, then the power of ...
