Jesus and I are driving across Texas in the summer. We are riding in a blue 70’s Chevy (nova, I think) with the windows down. There are pink fuzzy dice hanging off the mirror. I am driving. He is singing along with the music. “luckenbach texas” is the song by waylon and willie. We are headed West.
I see a mushroom cloud on the horizon up towards Colorado. Smoke and ash fill the sky. Vultures circle the skies. We know that something is going on. But, my car can only go so fast.
And, it becomes clear. There is war all around. Some of it is out of reach for where I am now. Enjoy the ride and time with Jesus. Move at the pace set before me. “Enjoy” was the word that He gave me over Thanksgiving.
Enjoy, indeed.
