Last week my friend Joel Jones nearly got arrested for drag racing. Even with a bit of Dukes of Hazard know how and a little luck he was unable to escape the law. This isn't the first time the law has intervened in Mr. Jones' life. Joel likes to live on the edge and push the envelope just a bit more than the law will allow. I suppose we are all running from something in our lives. It may not be a policeman or Boss Hog, but what about the taxman, our own boss or even the fear of stopping? We keep on keepin' on in an attempt to keep up with the Joneses. We have a drive that tells us we must work more, get more, be more, but where does it end? When is enough enough? What would happen if we just stopped? Would life really pass us by, or would we be the only ones smart enough to enjoy it? If the Joneses can't keep up with the Joneses why should the Smiths, the Andersons, or anyone else even try? Why can't we just be good ol' boys meaning no harm?
