Following Jesus in real life

Poser

8/17/2015

Just because he works at an auto repair shop, he thinks he knows cars. But he was just a poser. yeah, I’m calling him out. Howard, of Nippon Auto in Fremont. As my G35 rolled in for a Smog check, he said my clutch needed fixing. I said, “I just had it installed. That’s what a Stage 3 sounds like.” He was offended, so he started showing off his own car, also a G35. Immediately, his inappropriate stickers “350z” “Skyline” (technically true of the engine, but not really of the car) showed me that this fool was a poser. I said, “Your TE37 wheels look different. Imported?” Then he admitted that he painted over his stock rims and put on Volk stickers to make it look like the real thing. Then he offered me his keys, “take it out for a spin.” I redlined this bad boy and came back in 5 minutes. He had a huge grin, feeling proud. I didn’t say anything bad so he won’t sabotage my smog check. He was trying to show off his stock 04 with fake rims to a guy with an 06 with performance upgrades. Then he suggested I “upgrade” my car with some carbon fiber. yeah, I bet he has a sticker for that too. What a poser.

And I wondered if that’s how I sound to God sometimes. Just cuz I’m a pastor, I think I have the answers to life. But I’m just a poser trying to tell God how to do his job. Do I show off how good my life is, when it’s just a stock 04 with fake masks? and I’m giving suggestions to God on how he can make his car better.

But God humors me. Instead of telling me how stupid I sound, he’s like a father humoring his son, “Really? Your car is really fast!” He takes my car for a spin even though he can go much faster without it. But he loves to be in my car, not because it’s so great. But because it’s always better with him in it than without.
