Encouragement

Upon my introduction to disc golf, I became enthralled by it. It’s an individual sport with innumerable intricacies. My emotional enthusiasm erupted, and I purchased so many discs, I could have wallpapered a herd of buffalo with them.

“Stay on the road,” came April’s voice from the co-pilot’s seat. She spoke in the nick of time because a plan was formulating in my head to not stay on the road. At that moment, for some unexplainable reason, I was itching to veer the pickup right and enjoy the two hundred foot drop to the bottom of the canyon.

In summation, a Hell-dweller will forever suffer from unquenchable thirst and the insufferable stink of sulfur. Common sense screams that a person should do everything possible to avoid Hell as a dwelling place. Yet, the person doesn’t. What an amazing irony.
