BINGO

So today was BINGO day for Promise Student Ministries. I had a great time helping and hanging out with the elderly ladies at my table. I think I can say that I have finally gotten over my fear of the elderly but that is a story for another time. What I want to write about is my drive home. I was cruising down highway 7 and behind me came this speedy little Mazda. I politely moved over to the right side of the road to let the guy pass. He gets past me then I proceed to move back over. After driving for a short while the Mazda hits some slow traffic that is taking up both the lanes. So the Mazda makes a move to get around. Well it didn't work the Mazda was stuck in the right lane. All of a sudden this brown rusted out car comes blazing past me in the right lane and takes off in the left lane. The Mazda pulled over to the left hand lane and cut off the brown vehicle. None of these two people were going to be able to go anyway until the crowd of cars cleared. However, I could tell that the brown car's driver was not very excited about the Mazda's maneuver. The space cleared and the brown car takes the right lane cruises past the Mazda all the while giving the man the bird! That was a crazy incident out on the road and pretty funny! It did get me thinking though about God and the role Jesus took on. Now you may be thinking what kind of postmodern babble is this going to be? But hang with me! It is crazy to see people fight so hard to be first among others on a highway like some kind of NASCAR race. And when I read about Jesus I see a man who is worthy of being out in front of everybody. A man who was completely sinless, a man who is God! Yet, Jesus put on the flesh of a man and lowered himself to washing his disciples feet. He told them that he came to serve not to be served. And he suffered the death of a criminal on the cross! So, for all of the believers that may read this blog let me encourage you to lower yourselves and have an attitude of Christ! And may we all pursue that goal.

Thanks,

Travis
