If you have watched the movie CARS you will have heard the song “Life is a highway/I wanna ride it all night long.” Truth is…life is not a highway. For most of us it is a jungle. (Does “Welcome to the Jungle” come to mind)? There are twists and turns. Roots to trip over. Clear weather and bad. All sorts of things to trip us up as we walk that trail.

When I was younger (much younger) I used to love to read books on Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, and the early settlers. Although exciting, it was in some ways glamorized. Living in those early times would have been a real challenge. The scene from Last of the Mohicans where Hawkeye and his friends returned to a  burned down cabin and death was all too common.

But someone had to blaze the trail.

I am preaching, as you can see, on Life is an Adventure! this Sunday and through the summer as I plan to spend the whole summer in Psalms. Ps.25:4-5a says, “Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me.”

I’m challenging the folks at OVCF to read through the book of Psalms this summer. We are also making available a book of 90 devotions to supplement their reading. Here it is:

Maybe you would like to join me? A daily devotion. A commitment to read. A podcast of the sermon will be available right after the second worship on our website (if you are interested in listening).
