A Fork in The Road

The road seemed straight and sure. We made a big course correction in 2008 but we've been motoring along since. Slowly, but surely.

There have been a few potholes to trouble us, and a couple of detours along the way. And once or twice the road has been closed due to a collision of wills. But mostly we've been moving ahead, toward a destination just out of sight over the hill. When we get there the road will ease, and we can rest a while.

But now we are staring at a fork in the road. We are being told by two different groups that only one path (theirs) will get us to the desired destination. The other path (not theirs) will either lead to ruin or will loop back on our previous path and cost us in time and money.

Luckily, it's not too hard to pick a path. One of those groups had control of our direction in the past, and they had us routed over a cliff. Hence that course correction. It would be plain stupid to take direction from them again. At least not until they give us a look at their map.
