Moving through your daily life, you often receive a bit of inspiration from ordinary items. Maybe encouragement, or warning, or maybe simple joy and praise, each of these moments are messages from God. Driving into the Son is a collection of such messages.

Each entry is intended to bring uplifting messages especially for those who drive, who make their living on the road.
