Did She Make it Home?

She called earlier today needing directions to get out of the Capitol city. She was headed north and needed to go south. I think I helped her. I hope I did. I would hate to think she is out there, somewhere in the abyss, wandering around without direction.
It's kind of my responsibility as a Christian.
Helping others find their way.
Even though sometimes I need help finding my way.
I do not own a GPS system, so, as a man, I just say things like "look at this way, it is a part of the state you have never seen before" or "I could have sworn this was the right road".
I dont want a GPS.
I like getting lost once in a while.
It reminds me I am human.
of course, then the moon is on the opposite side of the road again, so maybe a GPS would be good right about now.
We all, Christian and not-Christian, have a measure of responsibility to help other people find their way. With all the financial problems, the war, the threats of terrorism, the unsureness of tomorrow, we all need to help each other find our ways.
My aunt is a master gardener, helping others with produce related problems.
A cousin is a plumber, unclogging those problems within the pipes.
A friend is a supervisor in a factory, making sure no one falls into the machinery.
All we can do is give the directions, it is up to the individual if they make it home.
