It is very easy to get lost, as did the Massachusetts family featured in news reports, who called 911 after getting lost in a corn maze. The place was Connors Farm in Danvers, Massachusetts. The couple and their two small children became lost as dusk was approaching. They called 911 from inside the maze, and police officers with K9 assistance found them. The farm manager offered them free tickets, but doubts they will return. Yes, it is easy to get lost; but we have a map—the Bible. We also can call on help from a person—Jesus Christ.
