One of the greatest pieces of advice that I was given when learning to drive was from my sister.

When the car radio was first being introduced in the 1930s, many opposed it, stating strong concerns of the danger of distracting drivers from…driving. Fast forward through the next 90 years.

This is especially true if it is at night and those opposing headlights are shining directly in your eyes. This is very similar to living the Christian life.
