How Far Have I Come? (1 Peter 3:8-12)

Don’t you just love summer.  Typically, summer is the time that we take vacations.  We pack the car and the kids and head out for destinations that, often, we have never been to before.  But, how do we get there and how do we know when we have arrived?  In my earlier days, we used to carry this large book in the car called a Road Atlas or Road Map.  Remember them?  Today, we travel with the maps or GPS on our phones.  We type in our destination and the phone tells where to go.  It ever offers us alternatives if they are available.  Our spiritual lives are a journey also.  But, how do we know where to go and how do we know if we are evening going the right direction.  Peter gives us so great indicators of where we are and where we should be going in the passage today.  The question is: “How far have I come?”
