It was a hot dry day today, so I decided to get the 4-wheel drive vehicle washed. It has been taking many trips on dirt roads and you couldn’t walk by it without some of the fine red soil brushing onto your clothing. I took it to the usual place. I always chat with interesting people there – it is kind of funny. When I left the vehicle in the very capable hands of the car washers, I went through the inside waiting area where everyone was and decided to go outside and enjoy the sunshine for a bit. It was pretty hot and I just stood up to go in when another woman came out and struck up a conversation. Within just a few sentences she gave me some advice that touched my heart. But it didn’t stop there – she made her point a couple of times to make sure it stuck, I guess. It was so ironic, as I had just met with my spiritual director yesterday and he told me the same thing. She seemed to be another messenger. I guess God wants me to take it seriously.

I Found God today in a point well made by a complete stranger.
