This past Saturday Nathan and I were headed down to my parents house in Moreland to just hang out, fish etc. On the way down I decided to take a back road. Well, low and behold I got stuck behind a roll back truck hauling a rather large shed/storage building. Nathan thought it was cool and we could barely see around the thing. Well, I thought it was less than cool because it was keeping me from getting my line in the water as quick as possible. We must have been doing 15 mph all the way down Bethlehem Church road. This was killing me! We came to the point where the road goes up under I85 in a slight turn. I decided against trying to pass being the good driver I am and not pass in a turn. Keep in mind I'm right on this guys tail and can't see around. Well, he stops dead in the road when we get to the bridge. I sit there and think, ok I'm going around him. This is all in the span of about 30 seconds but it feels like forever to me because I'm in such a rush. I'm thinking is this guy crazy. The shed he is pulling is big but can he not see that he has plenty of room to make it under the bridge!? I'm so ready to go I start to pull around him as he starts to move forward. Then I see a construction worker holding a big orange SLOW sign! Which seconds before was a big red STOP sign! I feel like a dummy. Here I am everything short of cussing the guy in the roll back out but he's doing exactly what the sign says. Well, you know me, this got me thinking. Which is very dangerous! I think I am like this sometimes in my walk with Christ. I get so involved in what I want that I can't see that others around me are following what God is telling them to do. I think sometimes I should just back off a bit and open my eyes up to the whole situation whatever it may be. Things not seen.
