One-Liners to Remember 1 (of 5)

One of my favorite lines is from Mark Batterson:

“If we were to truly act in our own self-interest, we would always obey God.”

I can’t wait for this week!

My wife and I were merging onto a freeway where construction was going on and she was driving because for some reason it made her nervous when I drove. Because of the construction there were barriers that narrowed the left lane of the freeway into the right lane just as the merge lane joined the freeway. I was trying to keep an eye out in the passenger side rearview mirror for cars coming on behind us as well as watching cars approaching our merge lane by way of the right lane of the freeway. Have you ever noticed what is says on the passenger side rearview mirror? Anyway, I saw a schoolbus that had been painted blue all over approaching us very quickly in the right lane. I suddenly realized that it was going to stay in that lane and catch up to us at about the same time the merge lane joined the right lane of freeway traffic. So you pick which one liner you like best. The one on the passenger side mirror, or what I stuttered to my wife just before the bus grazed the driver’s side of our car as it passed us, taking off the driver side rearview mirror and plowing blue paint into the side of our car:
“buh buh BIG BLUE BUS! BIG BLUE BUS!”

The Jerry Maguire quote “You had me at hello.” Sounds like the father of the prodigal son. Here the son practices his speech on his way home and his dad simply welcomes him back. You had me at hello.
