There are so many things to be concerned about in our lives, and many of them are "game changers" when it comes to the decision we make. A wrong decision could cost us dearly, financially, emotionally, even with a life or death outcome.
As Karen and I were returning from two appointments at the VA today, we were so happy that my surgery a week ago went so well and the follow-up today confirmed that I had some pretty serious damage to my shoulder, but the initial actions by the surgery team have given me a good prospect for a positive outcome and return to strength and fitness. We praise God for all that has been done for us by the VA over the past 11 years.
But here's my main thought. As we drove home at the speed limit in our car which just passed the 100,000 mile mark, a car passed us at a high rate of speed over a double yellow line. I looked down at our speedometer and saw a top speed of 120, an illegal speed anywhere in the country and wondered why the car manufacturers are allowed to produce a car whose top speed is illegal, and a danger to anyone who drives that speed or is in proximity to someone doing that speed. Does this make any sense?
I know NASCAR, NHRA, indyCar and more than 100 racing associations like the thrill of driving fast, and reward it handsomely, but I'm not sure it has any place on a two-lane road in rural Arkansas. Just thought I'd speak up.
