"ALL MAKES AND MODELS"
By John Kerr

          Last week we went to the James Dean festival in Gas City, Indiana.  We have gone for many
years now and still enjoy it. The main thing we like is being reunited with good friends that we don’t
get to see very often. We ride our motorcycles out, about four hundred miles, and stay at their house.
We ride about thirty miles north of their place to Jonesboro and attend what is billed as the largest
motorcycle rally in the state of Indiana. A footbridge across a small river separates Jonesboro from Gas
City where we attend the Ducktail Run Rod and Custom Car Show. This year featured more than 2200
cars.

           There were all makes and models of vehicles, pickup trucks, sports cars, street rods, muscle
cars, family cars, campers, and many others, too many to list.  Some of the cars are pristine and there
are quite a few that are classified as rat rods. I’m still not walking the best so I took a chair and sat by
the road that circles the duck pond. Many of the vehicles just drive around the pond. I didn’t have to
walk to see beautiful machines all afternoon.  The weather was perfect and they were playing music
from the ‘50s and ‘60s.

          While I was watching the show I thought of many things. One that stuck in my mind this year
was how many different types of cars drove right past me.  This made me think about God creating
people. We are all different.  We are all created in God’s image.  In the church we are all different.
This simple fact seems to be difficult for some to cope with. God created us different and has equipped
us with different gifts to accomplish his will. Don’t try to convince people to be just like you or to do
the same work you do in the church. Learn to encourage them to do what they are called to do.

Romans 12:6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is
prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching,
then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is
to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

Come as you are and grow with us!
