A rally car goes straight on instead of turning right! A rolling mist and drizzle turned a dry road into wet and slippery within a short time. It caught out quite a few drivers towards the end of this stage. It was all part of the Cork 20 rally.

The sound of rally cars roaring along, dominated the countryside around Millstreet this weekend, with the Cork 20 car rally taking place. The many rally drivers taking part had to negotiate some difficult roads. Many of these roads were selected because of their twists and turns and their many bumps. These rally cars are rarely to be found on long smooth roads. Drivers rely on skill and navigational maps to get them through.

Most of us will never drive a rally car but we do have to cope with the twists and turns of life, with its many bumps and unexpected corners. Managing and coping with the challenges of life is not easy but we are greatly helped by our faith and our belief in a loving God who is with us every step of the way. Just as a navigational map is crucial to a rally driver, so our faith becomes our navigational map. Without it we journey blindfolded but with it every challenge in life can be dealt with so much better.
