From Our Pastor

I heard about a man who was taking a trip in his pickup truck  He was driving in an area that wasn't familiar to him.  He came to a fork in the road.  The direction he needed to go was to the right, but there was a sign there on the right that said "Road Closed."  He looked down the road and said, "That looks fine to me."  He decided to go down the closed road. After a couple of miles, he came to where a bridge was washed out.  He turned around and drove back to that fork in the road and took the correct detour.  

We are a lot like that man.  Sometimes when God tells us what road to take, we think we know best!
