Hey everybody, welcome to your move I'm Andy Stanley. Have you ever met anyone you wish you'd never met?

Of course you have. Isn't it interesting that the folks we met are often associated with our greatest

regret? And that's what we're talking about today right here on your move.

Have you ever met someone that later you wish you'd never met?

No, nervous laughter. Yes, and no elbows and don't lean over and look. Have you ever met someone that you wish you'd never met?

Or maybe that's too personal. How about this? Did your wife or your husband ever met someone you wish they had never met?

Maybe they wish they'd never met or maybe they're a little bit too happy that they met.

Or maybe have your kids ever met people that you wish they had never met?

And all of us have a story into answers. Yes, and this is such a strange dynamic, but we're going to talk about it for a few minutes.

It's folks we've met in this true. It's folks we've met that are connected to our greatest regret.

I don't know what your greatest regret is, but I bet you weren't alone, right?

I don't know what your greatest regrets are, but chances are you weren't alone or if you were alone it was still connected to a relationship.

And this is such a strange thing because our greatest regrets involve people oftentimes and the people they involve they're not our enemies.

They're not people that we're hostile with. I mean we're on our guard around people that you know they have hostility toward us, but they're usually with our friends.

Our greatest regrets are usually connected with people we've met and we considered those people friends. That's something to think about.

Now everybody knows what a guard rail is on the highway, but a quick review. A guard rail is a system. A system.

A system designed to keep vehicles from straying into dangerous or off limit areas. And we said last week the guard rails do at least two things.

They direct us and they protect us. They direct and they protect. And the other thing about a guard rail and this becomes important as we talk about how this applies to our lives, is that guard rails are never placed in the danger zone.

Guard rails are actually placed in the safety zone and no one argues with us. No one argues that no they need to give us those extra three feet to drive in.

Nobody argues with this idea. Nobody would argue that we need to put the guard rail in the danger zone or even on the line. When it comes to driving we understand the idea of a margin for error.

The other thing about a guard rail is that they are designed to minimize damage to your vehicle. If you hit a guard rail you will have to go to a repair shop. But you may not have to go to the hospital.

The damage done by hitting a guard rail is much less than the damage done to you in your vehicle if there was no guard rail.
