The Life I Lead

The life I lead. The sentence makes me stop to think. What life do I lead? By trade I am a programmer (currently Ruby on Rails). I garden (vegetables). I barbeque (just about anything). I enjoy movies (occasionally). I love my family (my wife, four! kids, and my sister). I study the Bible (currently John 14-17).

But is that the life that I lead? I mean, that's what I do, and how I spend a significant portion of time. But is that really the life that I lead? Am I leading my life, or am I following someone else? Am I blazing a trail for others to follow or am I walking well-trodden paths of old?

I don't know the answers to those questions, and I'm not even sure it matters much. I do know one thing, I love Jesus and I follow Him.

I think it's both. You're following the ancient paths and reopening the trail for us and others to follow.
