I came across an article today and as I read it I was grieved in my soul.
The article, entitled "Go Ahead and Follow Your Heart. God Wants You To", was on the blog site named PersonalFinanceByTheBook.com.
Upon reading the title a handful of verses immediately came to mind. Chief among them was this:
"The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick;Who can understand it?" (Jeremiah 17:9)
Since this is true, why oh why would G-d want us to follow our hearts?
The author, Joe Plemon, includes this definition of heart in his article:
Pastor Rick Warren defines it thusly, “the bundle of desires, hopes, interests, ambitions, dreams and affections that you have."
Back in January of this year, Josh and John Duggar (yes, those Duggars from "19 kids and Counting") were having what seemed to be an ordinary day at the office of Josh's used-car dealership.
The day would turn out to be far from ordinary.
The dealership is located along a main road for business travel where minor traffic accident are common.
This article from MSNBC details the events.
