“Breaker 1-9 with a smokey report.  We got a bear runnin’ east on I-40.  Anybody got a copy?  Over. ”

What in the world was all of that?  Some of you who know me well may remember these lines from the movie “Convoy” a show from the late 1970’s that I watched obsessively, sometimes two or three times in a row, day after day until I could quote the movie, word for word without fail. 

Still to this day, not able to even remember the last time I watched this movie – I can recall (almost word for word) the opening dialogue between the Rubber Duck, Pig Pen, Spider Mike and the Sherriff Lyle Wallace (Cottonmouth). 

What does this have to do with anything?  I just found it interesting one day as I realized all the un-important non-sensical things I remember from years long past. 

It struck me as ironic why, if we can remember totally useless things like lines from music, lyrics of songs, one-liners that made us laugh, why don’t we remember the Scriptures and retain them in our minds with such clarity? 

Something to think about – good buddy – 10-4 over and out.
