Traffic Lights likens a man’s life journey to a drive on the road in a motorized vehicle through clearances, cautions and curtailments drawn from the Bible, by referring to them as green, yellow and red lights. The book has many interesting couplets and other multiple liners that describe varied situations in life and our responses to those. Many of these verses are probing and penetrative, and expose our attitudes and delineate the outcomes. In the author’s eyes, the touch-stone for all of these is the Bible. He has quoted book, chapter and verse in support. Link words are placed to facilitate word search for several of these verses. Seek honey - Stir bees Let not my good intentions, Become points of bad contentions. (Ps 120:7 NIV) I am a man of peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
