"Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit
of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted." (Gal. 6:1)
On Monday, Feb. 6, 1995, according to the "Chicago Tribune," a Detroit bus driver finished his
shift on the Route 21 bus and headed for the terminal, but somehow he took a wrong turn. He
didn't arrive at the terminal at the scheduled time of 7:19 p.m., and a short time later his
supervisors started looking for him. Meanwhile, the driver's wife called the terminal and reported
her husband might be disoriented from medication he was taking.
For several hours, the forty-foot city bus and its driver could not be found. Finally, the state police
found the bus and driver - two hundred miles northwest of Detroit. The bus was motoring slowly
down a rural two-lane road, weaving slightly from side to side. The policeman pulled the bus over
and later reported, "The driver had no idea where he was, and agreed that he had made a wrong
turn somewhere. Apparently, this had not occurred to him during the four hours he drove without
finding the bus depot."
Unless we restore those who have taken a wrong turn in life, they may never regain their bearings.
