Monday Messsages-The Wrong Road

What a fascinating concept-the idea that this father and son were inspired to take the road leading to a dead end, so that they could get on the right road with a more perfect knowledge that it was indeed the right road.  Otherwise they may have traveled down the right road wondering if it was really the one they should travel and perhaps doubting and then perhaps turning around and going down the wrong road only to get stuck or even completely lost.   

Applying this to my life, I wonder if He allows me to make some choices because the value in turning around and traveling the right path and the confidence I would gain in knowing it was the right path was of more benefit than having me go down the right path without that same confidence.  Hmmmm....Elder Holland always makes me think.
