Life in the fast lane

As many of you know I’m an advocate for safe driving. It is on the very rare occasion that I drive over 65 miles per hour. Many positives can be mentioned in conjunction with driving 65 or less. For instance it is a gasoline saver and it provides you with a little more reaction time if something goes wrong. So while I might drive in the slow lane, the rest of my life constantly seems to be in the fast lane and I’m wondering why?

As I was reading the blog by Cobb (http://fancyblogname.wordpress.com/) I’m thinking to myself. I’m willing to work 60 hours in a week but I can’t spend 60 minutes in a church service. And for what reason? Money? Fame? For the mere thought that someone might know my name when I say it. Singer/Songwriter Tracy Chapman says in the song Crossroads “You think money rules and all else fails. Go sell your soul and keep your shell.” That statement says so much yet so many people including me are unwilling to just give up a little and let God take a little more responsibility in our life.

The other side of the coin is I love the business I’m in. It is a hard one to break into and I’ve been extremely fortunate to be on the air in Dallas/Fort Worth. More often than not a sacrifice is made when trying to accomplish something. Recently I’ve been wondering at what point will the sacrifices I’ve made be enough, but the human flesh always wants more. So, as I’m mainly talking to myself I’m also saying this to anyone who is still reading. Make sure you are sacrificing for the right reasons.

I have a hard decision to make within the next month regarding work and I’m sure there will be more blogging about it, but in case you are wondering this decision that has consumed much of my time is the reason for this blog which had nothing to do with sports.
