Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with my family-in-laws. In the car were two ministers, two gospel singers, one president/CEO of a Christian Bible college, one manager/producer of gospel music and, of course, my redneck self sitting in the midst. Love these folks dearly, don't misunderstand me, I'm just the black sheep, so to speak.
While we're driving around town, the driver is incessantly texting. This guy would probably never take a drink outside of moderation and/or safety, but when it comes to texting, hey, whatever.
Yet, study after study keeps showing how texting can be just as dangerous, if not moreso, than driving drunk. Just ponder that for a minute...would you ever drive drunk? Chances are, your answer is no, never. But texting, something just as dangerous? Well, we give that a little more grace. Should we? Frankly, I don't think so...the repurcussions of texting are identical as driving drunk. People still get hurt, people still die. I hope you'll ponder this perspective next time your text alarm goes off while you're behind the wheel.
