“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it”    Matthew 7:13-14

Thank goodness this road with a wide gate was locked. Plus it looks a little stormy, but even the narrow road is not without storms.

Put on a little Pearl Jam and ride on!

And the wind keeps rollin’
And the sky keeps turning grey
And the sun is set
The sun will rise another day

I have wished for so long…
How I wish for you today

I have wished for so long…
How I wish for you today
Will I walk the long road?
We all walk the long road

FInd the key to your own gate, then ride like hell. Don’t look back because they’re always a gaining on you! ††† en theos ††† jimwork

IMAGES OF SMALL THINGS FROM THE BIGGEST COUNTY IN TEXAS #572 – Which road was taken?

I can remember somewhere back in jr high or high school having to read and study Robert Frost’s great words. I wish I had then a teacher who was a carpenter that nailed this message into my head. To have realized it was more than just trying to dress differently than everyone else. Such a great image painted with only words that should be planted in all our hearts.

The Road Not Taken

BY ROBERT FROST

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

“…narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:14

So which road you traveling, is it ever too late to get on that less traveled or narrow road? ††† en theos ††† jimwork

“When you see the road ahead
That you’ve been down before
When you’re halfway to nowhere
And you can’t pay the toll”

I really relate to these words from Matt Maher’s Rise Up ballad.

I don’t know what the exact toll is on the road to nowhere, but I feel that I have paid it many times over.

No matter if you are on the narrow or wide road, there is always a price to pay up!
