LOOK AT ME!!! I'M STOPPING!!!

"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


Flashed the most stupid ignorant distracting DUMB device ever on the back of the SUV in front of me.


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


Most people know what brake lights are and that if the brake lights are on, the vehicle in front of them is slowing down or stopping. It's not only common sense, but if a person has had driver's education, it is a known fact.


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


Brake lights are located on the back of vehicles, including SUVs. There is one on the left side and one on the right side. If one is out, the other will still come on.


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


Brake lights do not blink or flash. It is not their job to do so.


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


Blinkers blink and flash. That is their job. And if you had driver's ed, you also know this to be true.


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


But because years ago some whiny person with no common sense and no driver's ed, that couldn't tell a brake light from a Christmas light, complained they did not see the brake lights on an SUV and rear-ended it, SUVs and other modern vehicles now come with a several hundred dollar


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


light that is the most stupid ignorant distracting DUMB device ever stuck on an SUV's butt.


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


Let's get real. The


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


light is not a brake light and it never will be, no matter how hard it want's to be, or the regulators that cater to whiny perople with no common sense and no driver's ed, want it to be.


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


Brake lights have the common sense to come on and stay on, so that you know what an SUV or other vehicle in front of you is doing - duh - slowing or stopping.


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


lights have no job other than to confuse the masses who have common sense and also took driver's education.


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


After all, how do we know a


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


light isn't signaling that the SUV intends to go straight ahead, just as a left blinker means it's going to turn left, and a right blinker means it's going to turn right?


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


How do we know it doesn't just want attention because it's not a Christmas light or a brake light? That's the way things are today. Everybody and everything wants attention, including the


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


light. It wants to express itself and maybe prank you into thinking it's a blinker too.


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


And now we are on the highway and the


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


light has finally stopped it's incessant


"LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING!! LOOK AT ME, I'M STOPPING"!!


cry for attention.

One Empty Tomb

We stand on the edge of uncertainty this Good Friday as U.S. warships head to the Korean peninsula in response to N. Korea's saber rattling.


History repeats, and it is much like it was when President John Fitzgerald Kennedy faced the Cuban missile crisis and a cold war with Russia was threatened by an actual war that no one really wanted and no one could know the outcome of.


The weekend will bring what the weekend will bring, and this life is never certain simply because our flesh is mortal, man has not yet learned to get along with his fellow man and most likely never will, and tyrants never cease to attempt to rule the world and instill their tyranny upon it.

But the first day of the new week will also bring a historical hope for mankind in one empty tomb that speaks of a life beyond this one where there are no tyrants, or wars, or sickness, or death.


The occupant of that tomb faced these things in His own life and succumbed physically to them because He threatened their very existence and offered the hope of freedom from them.


Not only was He the occupant of that tomb, but also the Landlord of life's vineyard, which gave Him absolute authority over it and the workers that tended to it and still do.


The difference in the darkness that fell on that first Good Friday with an eclipse of the sun and an earthquake that shook those present to their very souls, and the light that shone on that first day of the week that followed is staggering.


It is a light and a hope that transcends saber rattling, and war, and sickness, and tyrants, and death itself.
