I am what I have.
Who has the best job? Who has the best education from the best school? The bumper stickers that say, “My child is an honor student at such and such school.” Degrees and awards. Who has the handsomest boyfriend? Who has the latest and best gadgets and toys?
When I first saw this I was a teenager and not really a follower of Jesus. I saw how important people’s cars were. They said how successful or cool they were. Often some of these people had wrecks for lives. Lame jobs. Hole in the wall apartments. But they drove a cool car. Nothing else really mattered but what you drove.
