Sunny, windy, could get sick, don’t have time — excuses, excuses. These excuses are things I say to myself in order to stay where I am and avoid getting in the car for a drive. When I was a kid my favorite thing to do was take a ride with my dad. We would drive around, go to the lake and talk. I could usually convince him to buy an ice cream cone for me too.
Today, I still love to get in the car and drive with no particular destination in mind. However, when I was a kid I had no excuses — as an adult I have plenty excuses, why?
For me, I get use to the norm and my brain can check out while doing things I do all the time. It is healthy for me to do things on a whim — like get in the car and just drive. My best conversations with Jesus are on my drives with no particular destination in mind. or anything to check off my list.
Sometimes we need to get in the car and drive……….
