Middle of the Road





The important thing about having a blog, as with all communication, is having something important to say. Keeping things pithy might also be a plus. So, let me begin with a quote by Mark Twain: "Truth is more of a stranger than fiction."


Last week I was on the road to visit a friend and attend his mother's funeral. While I was cruising down the highway in the center lane I began to think about how similar driving in the middle of the road is to politics and theology.

The traffic on the right rarely threatened my safety or forced me to change my position. However, any troublesome movement seemed to always progress from the left.
