Day 10 - The Strato Chief

I was listening to a song in my car this morning - a song I've heard many times before. It's about driving a Pontiac. A '63 with a three-on-the-tree as I recall. Anyway, there's this line that goes something like ". . . and objects in the mirror are precisely their own size." Not exactly deep thoughts, but today that stuck with me. Objects in the mirror that are precisely their own size. I began to consider the trivial things in life that I sometimes blow out of proportion. And the important milestones that I sometimes overlook.

When I read about Jesus, I recognize someone who understood the gravity of important situations (see "money-changers in the temple" and any of a dozen or so encounters with religious "leaders"). I also recognize someone who knew how to stop and care for the young, the hurt, the left-out, and the dismissed. No need was too trivial.

My surprise for today? A song by a guy named Fred - about a car - that reminded me to be more like Jesus.
