Text: Psalm 119:129-136
Author: Steve Wagers
On March 9, 1985 the first-ever Adopt-a-Highway sign was erected on U. S. Hwy 69 in Tyler, Texas. The highway was adopted by the Tyler Civitan Club, which committed to picking up trash along a designated two-mile stretch of the road.
James Evans, an engineer for the Texas DOT, noticed litter blowing out of the back of a pickup truck. He soon began asking community groups to volunteer to pick up trash along designated sections of local highways. As a result, the idea for the Adopt-a-Highway program was birthed.
The program has saved states $265 million in government clean up costs; $19 million annually.
Once we are saved, we are adopted into God's family. Once we're adopted, we're placed on the King's Highway, and we are to keep our section of the highway clean and clutter free.

That gives me the courage, the right way to see.
What hope for my trusting soul ever shall be?
God's Wonderful Book Divine

"PANTETH" - to yearn; crave; long"
