About the only place I like to see a crowd is in church. I guess that's because as a pastor I always was blessed when more people came to worship. Otherwise, I avoid crowds. For some reason in a crowd I feel hemmed in. Crowds of cars in traffic also bother me. I would rather take an alternate route than deal with crowded traffic.
When visiting South Padre Island in Texas, I gasped at the crowded beach. I sure didn't want to go swimming in that packed spot. So we drove on up the road another mile and found nearly empty beaches. We enjoyed a wonderful day at the beach without the press of masses of human bodies.
If you are looking for an uncrowded place there is one available. It is called the second mile. Someone has said that there is not much traffic in the second mile. The travelers we do find on that second mile will be folks in need. Those unwilling to reach out to others will have departed. In the second mile we will find opportunities to bring grace into the lives of others. Let's travel together on the second mile. There's plenty of room.
