From the Editor's Computer

I was given this quotation the other day..."Nothing natural or interesting grows in a straight line. As a matter of fact, it is the quickest way to the wrong place. Don't pretend to know where you're going. Because if you know where you're going, that means you've been there, and you are going to end up exactly where you came from." (excerpted from the movie Snake Talk).

How true that is when applied to our lives. Rarely, I mean rarely, do our plans, dreams, and hopes for our lives and future follow a straight path. More often than not we end up detoured on some back road of life that we had no idea even existed, let alone had any desire to be on.

Yet, it is precisely in those life detours, twists and turns, roller-coaster rides, and arrivals at unknown places that the fabric of our lives are woven into the beautiful tapestry that we share with others. Where is life taking you today?
