TOLL FREE

                                             TOLL FREE

                     Many years ago, during the 4th of July festivities, 

                     we visited Richmond and Williamsburg. And, while
                     getting some advice on travel routes and directions,
                     we were given specific advice on how to miss a certain
                     toll road. We thanked our benefactor for his travel advice
                     and sped on our way...toll free.


                     We suspect, however, at least from all travelling we've
                     done, that every road of life we travel...is a toll road.
                     Oh, some toll roads are cheaper than others. But in 
                     God's transit system, we get pretty much what we pay for.

                     Like state highway tolls, some of life's tolls 
are exacted 
                     from us sooner than others, and after travelling a short 
                     distance. 
                     For instance, the wrong word said at the wrong time
                     to the wrong person could mete out an immediate

                     punch in the nose.
                    
                     Other tolls are collected after travelling for several
                     miles without seeing a toll booth. But, it is evident
                     to those of us who have lived a long time that before

                     our lives are o're, the toll will have to be paid, often
                     at an exacting price.


                     Emphysema, lung problems, and cancers of various
                     kinds are often produced from years of habitually 

                     taking into our bodies substances alien to our good health.
                    
                     And perhaps when life's journey is over we shall discover
                     some of life's tolls were worth the price.
