Where Do We Go From Here?
Have you ever taken a road trip where you simply hop in the car and start driving, not really knowing where the road will take you, but willing to drive to wherever that is? There can be a sense of freedom in taking such a wild adventure. For most of us though, when we get into our car and put it in gear, we like to know where we’re heading. And if it’s a full-on road trip we plan the meals and overnight lodging and at the very least want to know where the next pit stop will be! We take comfort in knowing what’s ahead.
