Influence is a funny thing. You can't see it or hold it, but it builds you into the person you are. For better or worse, everyone we meet and every event in our lives can influence us, sometimes minutely, and sometimes altering our futures.
This past winter, I got to experience snow. A lot of it.
Maybe a little more than I wanted. On the positive side, I got some pictures
and some thinking out of it. Snow is used as an illustration for forgiveness in
the Bible. Isaiah 1:18 says, “…’Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall
be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.”
Let's face it. Many times in life we don't know exactly where we are headed or how to get there. Life is like taking a guided road trip where we are only positive we are trying to reach Heaven. The road we travel has twists and turns with plenty of options to change direction. But what do we do? Do we never turn off the road we are on, even if it looks like we are going over a cliff? Or do we take every side road that looks good?
