Built For Life

This weekend was the Kingsburg "car Show". it's usually this time of year where you see classic cars driving down the streets of Kingsburg. The car show is a beautiful experience seeing all the cars and attention to detail these guys put in their cars. As I was driving through Kingsburg the other day I seen several classic cars and then it hit me.... Why do you not see these classic cars on the road more often?.... when was the last time you seen a tricked-out camaro just driving through town? When was the last time you seen a guy driving a 57 Chevy down the road. Why is it that the only time you see these cars is either at a car show or being pulled on a trailer or only occasionally down the road. All that attention to be sitting in a garage only to be brought out during special occasions.

God has placed careful attention on our lives. He has been mindful of every detail. Yet for some people, the only time they come out of the "garage" is on Sunday or when their around other show cars.....er.....Christians. God didn't create me and make the investment just to show up all dazzling on Sunday and then get back in the garage until the next big "Show". How practical is a show car anyway? My cousin and his wife recently bought a Honda Mini van. Man, they could open their sliding doors with their key chain. They had DVD's on every seat. They even felt comfortable getting the floor a little messy. As crazy as it may sound, I would take that practical minivan any day over the Camaro. Yeah the Camaro might get the attention, but the van is designed for everyday life. My faith might get messy at times and I may even look like a dork driving down the road.... but it's built for life!
