Driven By This Bus Sitting in the Front Yard 6.4.25
A Bus Sitting in the Front Yard for the Past 10 Years
Greg Asimakoupoulos with another edition of My Rhymes and Reasons. You know for the last 10 years or so I have driven by this bus sitting in the front yard of this home. Not far from where Wendy and I live. It has never moved. It just is parked here. I don’t know what the owners of the bus have in mind for this vehicle. It looks like it is ready to drive right out of here, but like I say for at least the last 10 years it just sits parked.
I don’t know if they use it as a spare bedroom when they have guests from out of town. I don’t really think it’s a VBO. What in the world is taking up space? Maybe he thinks it’s an investment that one day he can sell for a nice healthy profit. I’m not really sure. But it did bring to mind as I drove by the other day a picture from the Gospels where Jesus was really hard on those who prided themselves in being religious leaders Pharisees scribes.
Sadducees those who bend over backwards to keep the law and to judge those that didn’t keep it in the way that they practiced their faith. He called them names didn’t he? He called them hypocrites. He called them whitewashed tombs. He called them serpents, venomous serpents.
Let me just land on the whitewashed tombs because what Jesus was getting at was saying they look to be something, but when you look inside there’s something else. Whitewashed tombs would have dead men’s bones inside wouldn’t they? And that’s what Jesus was getting at saying you have the appearance of being really upright moral leaders.
