On the way home from the Hualapai Mountains, we passed this fun old truck -- with a big tree growing out of it. We both commented, so Cheri flipped the car around and we decided to take a couple of pictures. Because sometimes something cool shows up in your path. And it doesn't matter how busy your life is if you don't make the time to enjoy the cool things that come along. Enjoy the journey.

And then Cheri sent me this older picture (below) -- from the first time we met. We were in a Facebook group together, and I posted that I had an upcoming weeklong vacation, but little money -- so she invited me to come stay with her in SoCal. Her kids were terrified that she invited a stranger -- who could have turned out to be a serial killer -- to stay with her for a week. But we became instant friends. And a few years later she sent her daughter to come live with me for a while in Provo. And a few years later she drove 6-hours to surprise me for my 60th Birthday Party.

Sometimes it's a truck with a tree growing out of it. Sometimes it's a stranger that becomes your best friend. Because things don't just happen by chance. God has a plan for each of us -- and we just need to be paying attention.
