What do these cars have in common & what does them have to do with me?

The Batmobile.

I grew up reading DC comics, and watching Batman over our family Zenith black and white TV during the 70's. During that time, the characters and the plot are simple. Cinematography is not as good as what we have nowadays, but I still enjoyed it, partly because we feel safe knowing there is a hero with a kick*ss armoured car out there beating the bad guys and fighting crime . For every punch thrown, ther is a "POW!" on the screen. No one ever dies in those shows back then.


KITT

Michael Knight talks to his watch and the KITT responds. How hilarious is that? The 80's is the generation of Sci-fi and a string of make believe shows, but I loved it even if I think its silly now. Knight and KITT tandem as a formidable crime fighting machine and the technologically advanced car has intelligence that bails Michael out of hairy situations.... Well, they both (the show and the characters and the car) die in the end and received a makeover after several years in an effort to revive the show.




Cadillac One

Now this car thinks its a tank. Take a click and read the features. By george I think there could be a min-oval office inside the car, or it maybe it transforms into an Autobot when no one is looking. All these for the protection of the president of the United States. I wonder if it has a self-destruct button.....

These cars above are equipped to the brim with every conceivable technology known to man during their generation. They are mean hotrods that are designed to protect the driver or passenger, whoever is the more important person.

But for me, I need my ride for transportation, to get me from home to work to church or places I need to be, period. Somehow, during my time in the car, I do feel a sense of safety knowing that when accidents happen, I'm not as open and as prone as those riding the motorcycle.

My safety blanket is not my car however, but rather my Lord almighty who keeps me safe in His palms in my coming in and going out. I experience his presence when I am alone or with other people. With a car that's 9 years old and around 86,000 kms travelled, it is not exactly the safest of all cars, however, I feel fully protected knowing that I have an excellent hand in my Lord who steers the car to wherever I need to be.

God bless us all.
