Do Not Follow The Herd
Just because your friends are doing something does not mean that you have to do it with them. If your friend wants, you to do something you know in your heart is not right do not do it and discourage them from doing it also. I got to know an older gentleman that was in that position, and he told me what he did about it. When he was in 7th grade a group of his friends wanted to knock over tombstones in the cemetery, He got to the cemetary an hour before they got there, and he hid back of a tombstone. When any classmate of his would next to a tombstone he would say in a ghostly voice get away from my tombstone and they took off running faster than a bolt of lightning never to return to that cemetery again. He fixed the problem in a creative way that worked. If you follow the herd, you will be trampled to death in the end. Never throw away your values of what you know is just and right and try to discourage others, if possible, form wrongdoing.
The Road Less Traveled Has A Lot Of Interesting Things To See
One time I had to take a detour on an old mountain road, and I kept climbing higher and higher with my car. At the mountain peak there was an old abandoned mine with tombstones dating back to 1749. I walked around and looked at the old tombstones for a while and I also examined the old mine from the outside. Once driving on a backroad in Iowa I discovered an old grocery store that looked like it came out of the thirties. The grocery store had an old wooden screen door and an old metal Wonder Bread sign on the door and an old cylinder type gas pump in front. I wish they would have been open to look at everything. I have attended church services at little old churches in the country and I enjoyed each service and looking at the wood in the church pews and how each church was built. One church had 10 by 10 rafters in the basement. I have had wonderful meals at the churches also. I was driving through Missouri and a sign said they were having an evening spaghetti supper, so I had my delicious supper there. I have gone to old hardware stores with wooden floors, and I have found a lot of useful items to buy such as tools, furniture, appliances, bowls and much more. Antique stores are fun to walk through and see things that take you back to your childhood memories. I like shopping in small towns as you can find most anything by taking a day trip through the small towns.
People That Do Not Follow God
They will generally follow the herd even though they know it is bad. Follow your faith and what you know is correct by Gods teachings. Follow the Ten Commandments as it is not called the ten suggestions. Stay on the road less traveled when the open Hi- Way leads to destruction of your soul.
