As I struggle to find inspiration for new blogs, I am going back to an old favorite.
Guess what this image is cropped from.
When this was new, it was considered mundane. Something only boring people would have.
Now we look back and longingly wish such attention to style was still around.
Today, design is centered around safety and practicality, much of which is enforced by government oversight.
In the mid 1950’s even a practical item like this was enhanced with jet age style.
I am a very practical person.
My clothing reflects professionalism at work and comfort at leisure.
And I drive a minivan.
But I infuse my life with music, humor, and enthusiasm.
I tend to live life loud – often literally.
I am passionate about the life my faith brings to me and where it takes me.
I try to share it with that same passion.
I’d venture to guess that today’s secret item is not so secret to you by now.
I saw this 1955 Chevy 210 Townsman station wagon at a car show last weekend.
I can relate to it.
It is very practical.
At the same time, it has enough style to bring some fun and enthusiasm to daily life.
That’s me.
I know some of you who will read this and relate.
And then I know some of you who are more like a Corvette or a Beetle.
Whatever you relate to, I pray you bring enthusiasm to the unique life that God has placed before you.
And if you relate to a fun old wagon like me, join the club and bring on the nachos (if you are a fun nerd like me – five different nachos).
