I got to enjoy one of the things I have missed...long road trips with my wife. We crazily drove to and fro Cleveland, TN (8+ hours one way) in the course of 30 hours. But those moments between nearly missing exits came something that is critical to us, conversation.
One of the things that has always intrigued me about our relationship is that a car ride of any great distance brings out the conversations we don't usually have. These conversations are focused on the some of the big things in our lives -- dreams and visions, hopes and desires. Put aside our conversations about kids homework, laundry, and all the other daily clammerings we pontificate about.
It is in these moments that our hearts are laid open before each other with the deep stirrings that God is putting in us. It is the moment that while we are usually nowhere near where we are going, we talk clearly about where we are.
