An Epiphany!

I think I had an epiphany the other day...but then again, I am not entirely positive what the official definition of an epiphany is, so maybe I didn't. I had a sort of revelation you could say.

I was driving down the road, listening to my music, singing along at the top of my lungs, all that jazz. I wasn't really paying attention to my spedometer because there were several cars on the road, so I was just following the flow of traffic. When I finally did glimpse at the spedometer, I saw I was going flippin' 75 in a 55. OOPS! I didn't even realize it cuz I was just following the flow and going with everyone else!

Soo, after I saw that and slowed down about twenty miles, I had my epiphany. At least what I think was an epiphany. I started thinking about how that was so much like life and faith. So often as we travel down the road of life, we get up in all the traffic. We end up just going with the flow because it feels right. It doesnt feel like we're speeding cuz everyone else is doing it, it doesnt feel wrong. We may not even notice we're "speeding". As we get caught up in the worldly things, we forget about the things that matter. We forget about our Savior and our Heavenly Father. And we may not even realize that we've forgotten about them until we check our "spedometer". God gave us speed limits - commandments. We should follow them not because we have to since it's the law, but because we want to. We don't want to get into some horrible accident and die. We want to survive on the road of life and make it to return home to our Heavenly Father one day.

So! Buckle up, follow the rules of the road, and drive safe! (And I'm talking both literally and metaphorically here.) :)
