Driving Under the Influence


On Friday I drove west to North Richland Hills to have dinner with my cousins. That's always fun because Craig can grill some pork chops and I like me some pork chops. Friday is my day off so I always love to just do things at my own pace. I always know what I want and need to fit into my Friday but there is no particular order and normally no one is waiting for me to arrive at a certain time...anywhere. Pure bliss! So as I left NRH after supper I pointed my car east and drove. I didn't have anywhere to be but I knew I wasn't really ready to go home. My husband was out of town and I felt like being 'out'...just driving around. To be honest, I felt like driving for a really long time. I think I could have just followed that sun into the West until I couldn't see it anymore. I felt full of thought and just kept getting more and more amazed at how God seemed to be hypnotizing me with that sun. It turned everything a color that I can't describe. All the buildings, the grass...the very air, seemed to be ablaze. Anyway, I finally decided to go home and was glad I took extra time getting there. What a silent and personal gift of peace that short drive was.

Have you ever checked your Meyers-Briggs personality type? I'm guessing you are a 'P' -- maybe 'ENFP'?
