Do We Live A Sixteen-Wheeler Life Style?

Before I get into the meat of this blog I want you to know that I have nothing against most large rig truck drivers. In fact, once when I was traveling with thirty youth on a mission trip in Central Pennsylvania and mistakenly dropped the keys to one of two vans we were driving into a sewer drain, a trucker assisted me in retrieving them. His closing words were, "All big rig drivers aren't necessarily who you think they are!"
Now let me move on to a somewhat substantiated opinion. The opinion comes from driving back from a Boston birthday party in a snow storm on Rte. 95! The predominate percentage of vehicles that passed me going 70-miles-an-hour or more were...you guessed it...sixteen-wheelers, big rigs, call them what you like. Most smaller vehicles with the exception of a few four-wheel-drive SUVs were going well below the posted 65-miles-an-hour limit. Two of the closest calls I have ever had on major highways involved speeding big rigs. I have swerved to avoid accidents where cars were crushed under out-of-control "tractor" trailers.
So, as a theological thinker, what's my point here. In the world, many of us are the "big rigs" of the world. We are hauling large quantities of material things through life; we are always in a hurry to get to some destination; we are often oblivious to the little people and little things around us; we don't pay attention too to the weather conditions; we often to expect others to get out of our way; we cause harm to others near and far because of our rushing and believing that the highway was built for us alone.
On the other hand those who call themselves people of faith are aware that there are others on the highway with them; they keep to a safe speed because they know that others could be hurt by their actions; they help stranded drivers when it seems like the safe thing to do; they don't overload their trucks /lives so that rollovers won't crush others' bodies and spirits.
I don't know if this imagery is worthy of further discussion, but, sixteen-or-more wheel drivers, Christians, and others interested in highway or highway of life safety are welcome to share their thoughts.
I hope these thoughts from a VW family (Gretchen and I own three - all old; our sons own three) will remind us all to not drink and drive; not exceed the speed limits (especially in snow storms) and to slow down in general.
