from "Perpetual Motion," an Introduction:
Life is a journey—better yet, a never–ending highway of
rush–hour, bumper–to–bumper journeys. We turn homeward
to heal old wounds, bury our dead, or perhaps rediscover a lost friendship. We revisit our greatest victory and sweat through our most humiliating defeat. We hit the road on a quest for wisdom,
to fulfill a dream, right a wrong, or explore the beckoning horizon. We agonize through grief and pain, maybe follow God’s path to redeem the evil culture around us. Life is nothing if not a constant panorama of changing scenery, anxious confronta- tions, new experiences, joyful celebrations, and great
adventures waiting to be joined.
Some of life’s journeys produce a pounding pulse and pumping adrenalin. Others are pursued with dread and dragging of feet. Occasionally, we stifle a yawn. Whatever your experiences, life
is a journey of constant movement; sometimes slow and
serene, sometimes a blinding blur. But always, MOVEMENT.

from Day 42, "Hey, That Was Dad!"
An East Coast family planned a West Coast vacation, but Dad could not leave on time. So, with the family driving through the western desert without him, he made secret plans to meet them there. When the family’s station wagon whizzed past the hitchhiker, one of the children shouted, “I think that was Dad!” The roadside reunion was full of fun, and made lifelong memories. When asked why he would do such a crazy thing, he explained, “After I die, I want my kids to say, ‘Dad sure was fun, wasn’t he?’”
