The Log Jam in the River

I think of impediments in our lives like logs floating in a river. Our life is the river and we are paddling down it in a boat. We can be in denial, ignoring the logs. Guess what happens? We crash into the logs. We panic. Guess what happens? We can turn over. Why can't we see those logs, then plan to move safely around them. In some cases those logs can be jammed up in the river. We may then need to totally change our course. We might even have to make a dramatic decision and leave the river and re-enter downstream.

We could even do so well in charting our course avoiding an

d dealing with impediments that we could help others in their journey.
