So this is what I saw this morning as I left our beautiful gated neighborhood for the Y.....
Apparently somebody decided to make an entrance out of the exit...
The gate was twisted and bent.....
However the guy who put up the sign becomes my hero for the day....
Apparently the sign guy knew who ran through the gate because he put the gate crasher's name up on the fence....
As I came back into the neighborhood later I could not help but think....
I know the guy with his name on the fence....
I have dealt with him more than once over these years....
You know....
The guy who is always trying to go the wrong way in life....
The counter cultural rascal....
The one that just does his own thing....
The fellow that pushes every limit but steps back just before it can be said he did something wrong....
That rebellious teenager that only hurts himself....
The unsubmitted young lady who just keeps repeating the same dumb mistakes....
The momma who makes excuses for her kids....
The grandma who stills tries to be 21....
The mid-life crisis guy....
Seems like every time I see the guy with his (or her) name on the fence the results are always the same....
Something has been knocked down and twisted because somebody thought they were smart enough to beat the system and go the wrong way....
Oh well....
The guy with his name on the fence should have just followed the instructions....
But then that would be oversimplification for him....
Anyway....
I bet you he might have got away with going the wrong way again....
But not without some scratches and dents on his car....
So this leads me to this simple conclusion....
Going the wrong way in the thoroughfare of life proves little....
It tears up the gate and the car....
Which probably is the perfect qualification...
To get one's name on the gate.....

Now that is a good post and oh so true.....
Why do people think they can get by when they act "stupid" and do "stupid" things??? Lord help us to realize that anything done wrong or shady will enventually catch up with us. I also live behind this gate and saw the sign and thought how dumb can some people be?
