Life is a Highway**

**Disclaimer: This is one driver's account of her encounter with God. Any feelings of conviction should be taken to God.

I love to drive. I don't really understand all the talk about engine size, but I love to drive. It was on a beautiful Saturday afternoon that I was zipping along the expressway that I discovered there was a price to my love of driving. I have been praying lately that I would be more sensitive to the Holy Spirit's conviction. So I asked, as I was driving, if there was anything I had just written off as no big deal. And, of course, He said, "What about your driving?" as I passed by the speed limit sign at a high rate of speed. I replied, "But I love to drive. . .I'll just pay the fine." This caused God to raise an eyebrow, I am sure. He then politely said, "Oh, really. Are you willing to pay the penalty for all your other sin?" At that I slowed down and moved out of the fast lane with a much different outlook on sin and it's penalty.
