Last week, late at night, riding in the back of the rig on a routine fire alarm call (so routine in fact, the other arriving engine called us off before we even got there!), I randomly glanced out my half-cracked window and saw the following on the marquee sign display of a small neighborhood church:
IF GOD IS YOUR CO-PILOT…
CHANGE SEATS!!! QUICK!!!
I loved this sign for a number of reasons, and it was rather odd that I even saw it in the first place. Normally, if I look out the window at all (riding backwards on the fire engine) I can make myself dizzy if I look at moving objects up close. So, I tend to stare off into the distance….the city skyline, the mountains, etc. But for some reason at just the right intersection at just the right moment –and I being in just the right mindset—I saw this gem. And it got me thinking with my old ‘minister’s brain’ again, and it got me itching to write again, and it got me reminiscing about one of the major themes I always hit upon during my nearly-ten years in ministry…
