Title: Not Cluster Related, But good reading.
Post by TerryS on May 1^st, 2003, 6:27am

>The Road of Life
>
>At first, I saw God as my observer, my judge, keeping track of the
>things I
>did wrong, so as to know whether I merited heaven or hell when I
>die. He was
>out there sort of like a president. I recognized His picture when I
>saw it,
>but I really didn't know Him. But later on when I met Christ, it
>seemed as
>though life were rather like a bike ride, but it was a tandem bike,
>and I
>noticed that Christ was in the back helping me pedal. I don't know
>just when
>it was that He suggested we change places, but life has not been the
>same
>since.
>
>When I had control, I knew the way. It was rather boring, but
>predictable it
>was the shortest distance between two points. But when He took the
>lead, He
>knew delightful long cuts, up mountains, and through rocky places at
>breakneck speeds. It was all I could do to hang on!
>
>Even though it looked like madness, He ! said, "Pedal!" I worried
>and was
>anxious and asked, "Where are you taking me?" He laughed and didn't
>answer,
>and I started to learn to trust. I forgot my boring life and entered
>into
>the adventure, and when I'd say, "I'm scared," He'd lean back and
>touch my
>hand. I gained love, peace, acceptance and joy; gifts to take on my
>journey,
>My Lord's and mine. And we were off again.
>
>He said, "Give the gifts away. They're extra baggage, too much
>weight." So I
>did, to the people we met, and I found that in giving I received,
>and still
>our burden was light.
>
>I did not trust Him, at first, in control of my life. I thought He'd
>wreck
>it; but he knows bike secrets, knows how to make it bend to take
>sharp
>corners, knows how to jump to clear high rocks, knows how to fly to
>shorten,
>scary passages. And I am learning to shut up and pedal in the
>strangest
>places, and I'm beginning to enjoy the view and the cool breeze on
>my face
>with my delightful constant companion, Jesus Christ.
>
>And when I'm sure I just can't do it anymore, He just smiles and
>says...
>"Pedal."

Great allegory! That IS cluster related! If I did not know he knew the way I would have ended the trip a long time ago. That is the reason I can use the verses I have at the bottom of my posts. Thanks for the lift.
