Well, let me confess one of my sins. I love cars, and of all cars in the world, I love Ford Mustangs. Old ones, new ones, all of them except for the Mustang 2.
The most distracting thing for me when I am driving, is not shaving, texting or eating. The most distracting thing for me is when I come up upon, or when a Mustang comes up on, and passes me.
I keep fighting off the urge to get one. I used to own a 98 GT. I keep fighting off the urge. I don't need it. I keep telling myself that I can admire them from afar. I can like them without owning one. But I also keep an eye open for that used one that needs a loving owner.
There is alot of joy for me in this little story. Ahh, the simple things of life that make us happy. But I am also aware that when I like something too much, it can become too important. So, here I am, living in the tension. Thankful for things that I enjoy in life, allowing myself to appreciate them and occasionally want them, but remembering that life is good, even if I don't get everything that I want.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
