Where can you run? When you go down the road less traveled, you don’t always wear fancy 3D glasses sometimes the vision is hazy and blurry.

Where are the bright skies then? See sometimes you’re trapped in the lion’s den, enslaved to the coffins of your own mind, which is where the migraine of doubt and depression often hide. Sometimes to get to beautiful roses you have to walk through thorns and thistles in the valley of the shadow of death as you struggle to catch your breath.

How relieving would it be to not have to swim against the status quo all the time? I could start writing about things that are “safe” and get accepted by everyone. Do you know how easy it would be to not be unconventional? At least for a day or two.

Sometimes I would rather take the path of least resistance, but that’s not what God has in store for me.
