Have you ever thought about life as a board game?

Think about it. In a board game, you’re always trying to advance your playing piece, regardless of whether you’re playing Life, Candy Land, or Monopoly. You’re on your way somewhere. Sometimes you draw a card and have twins or get stuck in Molasses Swamp or land on Baltic Avenue and other times, Boardwalk. Sometimes you draw a “Get Out of Jail Free” card and other times you land on “Go Straight to Jail. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect $200.”

Sometimes you roll or spin your best effort and you advance 6 spaces and you celebrate. Other times, you give it your best effort, and advance 6 spaces, only to discover that you’ve got to go back 20 spaces.

Life is like a board game. Sometimes it just doesn’t make sense. But yet, you keep playing, don’t you? I guess that’s because you’re going somewhere and want to get there one day.

Since life is like a board game, as you’re going somewhere, go with God as your traveling companion so you can make a life, not just a living.
