When I was around 11 years old I decided to see how fast I could get my bike to go from the far end of the block to my house (approx. 235 feet). As I remember it, I got up to 35 mph (according to the speedometer on my bike). I peddled like crazy and checked my speed when I got in front of my house. I had not thought about my finish. UH OH. After reaching full speed I decided to turn into the driveway next to my house, which only allowed me about 30 feet to make a 90 degree turn (going over 30 miles an hour). Needless to say, I did not make the turn. I went down and skidded past the driveway.
Here are two thoughts about that event.
1. It is a good idea to know how to finish a project, as well as how to run the course.
2. Once you build up speed, it might not be easy to change directions.
The 2nd point is my main point in this post. Both "speed" (as in a jet plane, or my bike hehe), and "mass" (as with a train or a ship) it takes a long distance to stop or to turn around.
The faster you go into sin and the more baggage you add to your life, the harder it will be to turn your life around. In fact, you may get your soul saved, but your life may end up being a heap of wreckage. Get saved early and avoid the ruin of your life.
