The Walk

In this life we are all on a journey or a walk. Maybe a journey toward a goal, sometimes it is a journey to get away. The video above by Sawyer Brown talks about a walk in the singers life at different stages.......first day of school, turning 18 and then being drafted to serve in the army, and then a time where his father is in need of being in a care home. There are so many other walks that we take in this life including a spiritual walk. A walk with God. I know I can say that my walk with God has changed so much over the last 25 years. A walk at times that seemed so close (especially the first couple of years) to a time where the walk is probably at a point at this time that I would describe like a friendship where you meet someone, and then meet them again.....only it has been 5 years down the road. You start over (to a point) getting to know them again, but before too long it is at the point where it has been awhile since you have seen or heard from them. What happened? I decided I needed some "other friends" that I could spend time with. You may know the ones....the ones that keep us from the friends who keep us on the straight and narrow. The ones that we have a great time with at the time and then regret or perhaps regret what happened. The line in the song "I took this walk you're walking now boy, I've been in your shoes" certainly applies to my life. It is always hard to take the advice of someone, even when you know what they are saying makes perfect sense. You are too busy enjoying the company of the "fun" friends, and the possibility of meeting even more good time friends.
