Miss M. called me 10 years ago from Soddy Daisy asking me to build her a bridge. A mutual friend had given her my number. Up until then, he was a good friend. Miss M. was making a wedding venue, and she had an acre of land on the other side of a little babbling brook. The bridge would span the creek joining her property while creating another photo location. It was a clever idea, but it took me an hour to get there … every day that I worked on the bridge. Early into the job, I was startled by an approaching train horn. I hadn’t noticed the train tracks a mere 50 feet from my bridge! Later, I commented to Miss M. about the train noise, but she was unaffected. I took my wife with me one day and she witnessed the train going by. Kathy said, “If a prospective bride hears that train, she’ll never book the venue! And if she does, and a train goes by while the ceremony is in progress, it will ruin everything!” I agreed. Besides the noise, who wants to say, “I got married on the other side of the tracks.”? Solomon said in Proverbs 21:2, “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.” Miss M. had a problem that she wouldn’t acknowledge, but sinners rejecting a Holy God is a much greater problem! Miss M.’s was a poor business decision, but a headstrong sinner has no hope … no hope in this life or in the life to come. Hey, don’t make that mistake. You’ll regret it for a looooong time.
