A few months ago I made two consecutive trips that made me ask mental questions about how life choices affect life situations. The first trip was obvious, this person was about to make some very intentional choices that were likely to affect him in a very negative way.
The next trip was a woman who seemed to have made a choice not to give up no matter how much things beyond her control were beating her down. The first call came from a mission which is a Christian oriented rehab center for men struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction.
When I drove into the parking lot I saw three men, two looked very straight laced. They were wearing white shirts with conservative looking ties, both wore glasses. They were talking to a man between them who looked a little like a football linebacker or a professional wrestler. He was a short white man, very stocky and had no visible neck. His bald head looked like a small ball that had been placed on his short muscular body.
The two professional looking men were looking down at him and seemingly giving him instructions or advice. He looked back up at them nodding his head in agreement.
As I popped the trunk the short man quickly loaded his bags and hopped in the backseat. Do you know where that is? He never explained how he ended up in Faunsdale, instead he went on to tell me how he had intentionally agreed to come to the mission where I picked him up. It was the only way I could get out of that hellhole.
