my drive home



My drive home had a theme today. We'll call it "Howdy, Partner". I've never seen a kid riding a bike around suited up for a Rodeo. The lad was having a really good time. He doesn't let Monday rain on his parade.

Then, I loved this marquis. It's human-centered theology at its best! God wants to make your dreams come true, buddy! Just be nice and come to church on Sundays (and Wednesday nights) and Daddy'll get you that Cadillac.

My drive was hilarious and thought-provoking. I had my windows down and some tunes blaring. And, to think this time last week there were six inches of snow on the ground-- I drove nowhere. There's a profound analogy lurking around... or maybe just a typical March in North Carolina. Symbolism is tricky.

I have a twenty-five minute commute, and it's got to be one of the best commutes around... unless I get caught behind a bus. Today I saw two cops out trolling for speeders. I'm really lucky I was in observational mode today or I might be whining about a large (and deserved) ticket. I do enjoy speeding on those windy roads. I hope you had a good commute.
