Riding Along In My Automobile
A sunny, late summer Sunday afternoon. The sun is awesome in its light and warmth.

Across the open fields the bean plants are green and gold (Packer fans?) with blue and white as a sky-full backdrop.

The sound of the tires on the road, windows open for rushing air (oh, for a convertible on a day like this!)

Into the CD player goes a collection of flatpicking guitar that seems to move to the sounds of the road.

How many shades of green do I see? What are the different colors of gold and yellow and tan spread across the fields? God's creation is truly a great place to be on a day like this. It's hard to get any better!

Yes, I know I write something like this every year. But you know what? Every year I am re-surprised by it. It is new each and every time because it is also different. As life moves by, so the experiences are always new. I am in awe each and every season as the images change and are unique to each moment.

Yes, I am truly blessed in so many ways on a day like this- as on any day with my Lord!
