| People and Puzzles |

People are like puzzles.

People are not puzzles because they are tough to figure out— no; rather, it is the transformation from shattered fragments to fractured masterpiece that is so similar to the human condition. When a man is born, he is a box of broken and confused pieces dumped out onto the table of existence. He is unsorted, helpless— a mess.

The hands of life and experience slowly bring about a half-done image, a partially completed project that only brings frustration and discouragement to those who glance at it. It’s when the puzzle is nearer to completion that the true worth of its existence is seen.

The beauty of a puzzle does not lie in the perfection of the finished image; rather, the beauty lies in the spiderweb of fractures— the lines, curves, cracks and angles— that show proof of a broken masterpiece brought together.

People are like puzzles. Their true worth is seen in how their broken pieces come together to create the stunning masterpiece that is Healed Humanity.

| Objects in the Mirror |

“Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.” The words in bold print on rearview mirrors subtly take up residence in one’s subconscious from the first moment they notice the warning typed over the reflection of one such “object” lurking in the small frame of existence right outside their vehicle.

The threat remains throughout the vehicle’s travels, regardless of the miles and landscapes it leaves behind. No matter what lies ahead, the ominous “objects” edge closer, larger in the corner of the eye; however, the shadows are often placed in the mind’s blind spots, left to fade. They never appear close enough to reality to have effect on anything but the mirror itself.

So what happens when the object creeps up and is suddenly upon you? When it overcomes you? What if the vehicle’s entire journey is purposed to run from the figures in the mirror? What if those figures in your mirror are closer than they appear?
