Life is about choices. Choice, that's when you exercise your freewill. We all have it. Even in the most dire of circumstances. There is a man, lying in the middle of the street. He was thrown from his vehicle when an 18 wheeler lost control and jack knifed into his car as he and his wife and daughter are on their way home from dinner. He looks to his right, he can see his wife in the car and he hears her calling to him for help.The car is upside down, it's in flames and her seatbelt held her in place. Off to his left, he hears his young daughter crying and then sees her lying in the street about 4 feet away, her leg is disjointed, broken, she can't move. His decision will affect him and his future. He can see that both are within his reach to save but he only has time to save one.....as he thinks he will go pull his wife from the wreckage, he hears a car coming towards them. But the accident is just over the crest of a hill, the oncoming car won't see the wreck until it's too late. The car won't be able to stop in time to keep from hitting the daughter lying in the road. Freewill, the man has it, pull his wife out before the car explodes or pull his daughter close...he can only do one. So often, people will say, he has NO choice. But he does, the question is, which one will he make and how will he live with his choice?How do you live with yours?
