Recently, Bill asked Helena and I to go on a bike ride with him on the Jordan River trail. Will was not home, that is why he was not 'invited' that time. It was a beautiful afternoon and we both were a bit reluctant, but we went. We were both glad we did, though!
At one point on the trail, there was a fork in the road. Bill asked which way we should go. Looking down the two options, this is what we saw...
It may be difficult to tell on the second photo, but the view through the trees is of a church. I was immediately struck by the classic symbolism represented by this particular crossroad! On the left hand, a dark and gloomy trail leading to who knows where. On the right, a bright and sunny pasture and a house of the Lord!
So, which way did we go? The dark and gloomy trail, of course! After laughing about the symbolism, we struck out on the more exciting trail.
Of course, the truth is, that the trail ended there (since we had arrived at the lake) and the 'crossroad' was really just a loop bringing you back the way you had come. Bill had a great laugh about that. The 'dark and lonely path to sin' actually brought you around to the church in the end!
