I was about shut down. I was at my wits end and feeling overwhelmed at work. I put on my jacket because I was headed out the door as I convinced myself that the day was shot and I would accomplish nothing. Then I reached in my coat pocket looking for my keys.
I pulled out a little matchbox car. It was one of the toys we brought to church the other day to occupy you in case you got bored. I thought I had emptied out that pocket but I must have missed this one out of the five. I sat there with this little car in my hand, blue top, gray body, flame decals, cheap little toy from Mattel. And somewhere from deep in my heart I found the energy and determination to take my jacket off and sit down and finish up my perplexing programming. Thank you.
Sincerely with love from your dad,
Leo
