Taking the high road

 










This morning we are at a new RV park. I'm sitting outside, before it gets too hot, with my coffee, thinking about you all. 

You know, this year has been a struggle for many of us.  For some the struggle has been similar to that of others. For others, our struggle has been unique. 

Our struggle can have either a bad or a good outcome. We choose which direction we will go. 

Hitler was an unknown wallpaper hanger in Austria. He struggled against his personal demons. He wrote his book "Mein Kampf" meaning "my struggle". 

This manifesto detailed his racist vision for a racially pure Aryan Third Reich. His demons led him down a road of atrocities,  terror and attempted genocide. 

He made a choice to give in to his struggle with his demons, while he could have chosen the overcomers path, been freed from his demons, and become a force for good. 

We each struggle against our own issues. We choose. 

Will we give in to our struggle? Or will we choose the high road, the righteous path? As overcomers. The choice is ours.
