OK I'm a Dad, and my son loves the movie Cars. Alright so it's not just him, I love it too. Even though this movie is incredibly entertaining there are some good life lessons in the movie as well.
If you've seen the movie, you know that the movie is set in the little town of Radiator Springs, this little town a one time was busy because it was located on the famous route 66. But an innerstate had been built near the town and so they lost the traffic and now the town is basically a ghost town, except for a few locals.
This is where Lightning McQueen gets stuck and he has to learn how to live in this small town environment. At first he hates it because he has his eyes only on one thing Winning the Piston Cup. But over time the local personalities grow on him and soon he learns to live and love in Radiator Springs.
Do you know how to live and love. Do you know how to embrace you life now, rather than always trying to look for the next win. Before you know it, you may miss your life. John 10:10 says "Jesus came so you can have life to the fullest..."
Slow down and smell the roses before they are gone, Maybe you need to get off the Highway and take route 66. Live and Love now because you never know if you have tomorrow.
Kur-Pow!!!!!

Some times this lesson comes too late and you have to face the consequences of missed chances or loss of loved ones. I know sometimes it is easier to ignore a person or be so angry that you "never want to speak to them again" but like Pastor Jamie says you can't let things like that get in the way of living your life. Take time to mend fences, to go that extra mile to make someone's day, to spend 10 minutes of you time, to play with your kids. Tomorrow may not be an option - you never know. Don't make you job your life, don't be too busy. You'll turn around some day and regret it. and that just sucks. just something to chew on :)
