God & Me & My Model T and Other Good Stories

By Bill Scott

I have been writing email essays for many years. So often my friends have told me that I should publish a collection of my writings as they have received great enlightenment and joy reading my comments.

So, following my friends' suggestion, I have asked Christian Faith Publishing to prepare a book collecting my short stories. This book is exactly that--a collection of short stories that will only take an hour to read each one.

It is my prayer that each reader will find an aha moment as you tune in to my thoughts. You will find a rebel motorcycle racer, auto mechanic, and all-around greaseball who has been touched by God to become a contributing member of His kingdom.

God is good, and He has certainly changed my life!

One night he had a dream that resulted in him being compelled to putting it all down on paper.

God and Me and My Model T

At a recent church renewal event, the pastor was making a point about the various words the Ancient Greeks used that we have generically translated into one word: love. After a lengthy explanation, the speaker commented that we cannot love an inanimate object. Love is reciprocal; you can’t love something that can’t love you back. I leaned over to my wife and whispered, I love my Model T.

The object of my affection is a 1926 Model T Ford roadster. My father-in-law bought it for me at an auction sale. He brought it to me as a pile of loose parts hauled in on a flatbed trailer. It was what a car nut would call a basket case. I had a frame, two axles with the springs and spindles separated from them, a derelict engine and
