The Road Less Traveled

Pam Weinreis • Oct 17, 2022

Driving is unavoidable in our rural area. Therefore, I choose the route to town depending on the day.


I travel a particular road if it’s raining. I choose another if I need cell service. I choose yet another if I’m late and drive faster, for that road is less traveled.


I noticed that one section of the road shows up on our GPS as an unidentifiable road.

What road do you travel?


Do you automatically seek the fastest or simplest route?


Is it easier to continue along the same road we’ve always known, so we can mindlessly travel?

It is difficult to seek out the road less traveled in life.


Some may even believe that all roads lead to the same place. The starting and ending point are the same, but the paths may differ.


The Bible does not always match the culture. Does the Bible teach that all religious roads lead to the same place?



Scripture talks about roads, often using “path’ and “way” as synonyms for life.


Proverbs 14:12


It teaches one can take the wrong road: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”


Matthew 7:13-14


Jesus said,” Enter by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”


He reduced life to two options: a difficult, narrow road to heaven and an easy broad road to hell.

Because of who Jesus is,

Christianity is not just another religion.

It is presumptuous for any man to invent a religion and then tell others they can be saved or condemned by it. Only Jesus can say, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6


Because of who Jesus is,


Christianity is not just another religion.


And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12


Ponder the path of your feet. Proverbs 4:26a


(Paragraph was taken from an article, “Do all roads lead to heaven.”)


Until next time, Pam.

Nearly one out of three older Americans are lonely, according to a recent study. The study revealed that the biggest shift in loneliness rose among the younger generations. Loneliness is distress caused by a lack of satisfactory relationships, not just being alone.

Life That is Truly Life Is our society consumer based? Did you know that only a century ago 90 percent of Americans were farmers? Life was hard, but simpler too. They mostly lived off the land and traded with neighbors whatever else they needed. Money was rarely used. And most of the things they owned fell into the category of needs, not wants. Today only 2 percent of Americans work agriculture. The last century has radically reshaped the American economy. People moved to cities for jobs, where goods were produced. After the wars, politicians and businessmen worked hard to remake the American economy. It was said their goal was to get the simple farmers children to spend their time and money buying up the latest thing. To grow a generation of consumers.

Have you ever considered "boredom" as good for you? Is boredom good for your kids? Do you remember a time when instant access to the internet, YouTube, tic-toc, and/or snapchat wasn't an immediate go to? How about this, waiting at the railroad tracks, waiting in traffic, sitting in a movie theater before the show with nothing for your mind to do but wander, listen, visit or just be quiet?

It is the month set aside for thanks. I am struggling, and I still get turned around. Is my dwelling on the past or fretting over the future keeping me from the present? Is my anxiousness masked by anger? Do I discount this moment?

Are we a people, "distracted from distractions?"

The warmth of the sunshine does something for our souls. It seems to lift the spirit. Signs of spring are slowly showing up. The Little Missouri River’s running out of its banks. Baby calves scatter the hillsides. Green grass begs to grow. Just days before the Holy Week, our eighth grandchild is born.

Most of the world’s discussion about peace today centers around the absence of wars between nations. We are past the anniversary of the Ukraine war; this world does not seem peaceful. But the Bible focuses on a different kind of peace. A personal peace that is not dependent on what is happening around us.
