He's the navigator

you guys watch rally racing? u know..the ones that uses lancers and STIs? well anyways, this type of race has a driver [obviously] and a navigator. the navigator usually tells the driver what's ahead of him so the driver can get ready for it..for example, "sharp left 30 ft ahead...180 degree turn quarter kilometer"..somethin like that..anyways..so yeah..without the navigator, the driver would just be bumping into trees, making lousy turns, and what have you..this also means that were navigator present, the driver would need to pays strict attention to the navigator..the driver must not try to predict what is coming up next on the path and/or think his navigator is wrong....or the driver loses his sense of direction and purpose

so i recently finished a book called "Grim reaper: end of days".  dont wanna get into the details of the book coz frankly, there are too many themes and ideas that compressed in that book, that it would take a whole night to give my point of view about what the author, Steve Alten, wrote.  so anyways, there was a recurring quote by the protagonist the in the book..it was "God is asleep behind the wheel."  which goes to say that God is oblivious to all the things going on in the world..which is hard to argue with...i mean..with another earthquake hitting japan, its hard not to believe that He isnt asleep.  anyways..im starting to deviate from my main point  [i have so much to argue about spirituality, that i have to separate them entry by entry].

so yeah..not only have i heard that quote in the book..ive heard ppl say it in movies and in real life.   

"God is asleep  behind the wheel."

ive never really agreed with that quote because ive always believed in free wil.. if God is behind the wheel, it implies that were not in control of our lives..we are not in control of our destiny. ive always believed that God was the one guiding us..the one always whispering to us to do the right thing.  we are the ones that are actually behind the wheel.  not the big man upstairs.  

yes..God has a plan, but it's up to us to make the right decisions to reach that plan..to follow his instructions..coz He's the navigator





Note: i apologize.  my entries have been weak lately.  ive just been consumed with reading all these novels. and when i get to the part of actually blogging em, all the cool words, thoughts, and ideas exit out of my butt.
