Good Advice

Here is some often given,
infrequently appreciated, advice:

Keep your eye on the road.
Keep your hands on the wheel.
Don’t follow too closely.
Turn the music down!
Watch your speed.
Don’t forget to signal.

Teaching your child to drive is just
about as comfortable as explaining
where babies come from. Hire
somebody else to do it, the driving
part, I mean.

You ever get any good advice?
“To thine own self be true…”
“Ask not what your country can do
for you…”
“Follow your bliss…”
“Do unto others…”

There’s a lot of good advice around,
bad advice, too. So how do you know
the difference? I guess it all depends on
your starting point: “What’s in it for me…”
or “Is there something bigger than me involved
here?” Principle. Core values. Spiritual
commitment.

Remember, Jesus said: “If you don’t stand for
something, you’ll fall for anything.”

Well, he should have. It’s good advice.
