      You Never Forget

      Oct 17, 2018

      ONE OF THE consequences of riding motorcycles is that suddenly you lose all your friends. This is fine, because motorcycles quite effectively fill the hole those feckless, non-riding bastards leave in your life. So you don’t really miss them at all.

      How much does our environment factor into our love of certain cars? Is it always pure design, or do our interaction and memories play a bigger role? For me, at least, it’s in equal measure. I’ve told the story many times about being nine years old an

      Thank you

      Baba

      For being a great teacher, mechanic and dad.

      For always telling me how to fix exactly what’s wrong with my car by simply listening to the engine. I’ll never forget the first time I drove my car home and parked it in the garage. That smile on your face is seared in my memory.

      Minass

      For always encouraging me to create, pursue and achieve.

      For telling me to just come up with a really good idea for my next book. (Here it is.) For using trigonometry to make a glovebox for my car. For being the lighthouse keeper.

      Eph 2:10

      2 Tim 1:7

      God gave me a light that set a fire in my soul

      Even when I burn out

      He gave me more light to ignite again

      So I light myself back up

      Fire found in my hands

      I’ll use them to guide my steps at night

      Keep you warm, like sunlight

      Tearfully smile with this revelation

      As He told me

      He didn’t just give me this gift to help you

      He gave me this gift

      To help me too.
