We begin the dramas by introducing the characters and the plot of the race which is to get to the top first. They all have their ups and their downs and today "Dirty Dan" begins by trying to find a shortcut to the top, deciding that he knows best rather than following the road that has been set out, and finds himself in trouble. Sometimes we think we know an easier way that we believe is better but we learn time and time again that God’s plan for our life is always the best plan.
