Whenever sadness catches me behind the wheel, I adjust my navigation system to the satellite view. From that soaring perspective, my starting and ending points almost always fit beneath the curser showing my position. That usually amuses me, but sometimes, like this time, I realize how I spin my tires and plot my way, yet end up going pretty much nowhere. Then I turn my eyes back to the road, gaze anew at God's glorious creation, and shun the sadness for shelter in His grace. For the difference between "end" and "and" is just one letter, a switch I'll make whenever possible.
