Day 160.  Here they are.  My new tires, well one of them anyway.  Nothing special to any one but me.  They aren't over sized or specialized.  They are just tires, and I like them.  The fact that I like them and I am satisfied with them make them that much better.  Maybe that's why God puts up with people.  I don't have to be smarter or better than anyone else, He likes me and that is what matters.  To some people, life is one big competition.  They always have to compare who they are and what they have with people around them.  I learned a long time ago that it doesn't matter how much you have, someone else has more.  And, it doesn't matter how big and tough you are, there is always someone bigger and tougher.  Trying to keep up with those around you will cause you more stress than you might realize.  In the bible Paul said that he had learned to be content with little or with much.  I think the most compared things in the world are children.  Whose is smarter or more talented, which one is better looking or more athletic.  As if our children don't have enough to live up to.  Kids are people, and people are all different.  They have different abilities and different potential.  So, if I brag on my kids, I'm not saying they are better than some one else.  I'm just bragging.  If I brag on what God has done for me, I'm not saying he likes me better than he likes others.  I'm just bragging on what he does, and he does a lot.  The snow that we got on Christmas is almost gone, except in the parking lots.  But, it sure was fun to drive through the parking lots today and not worry about losing traction.  Did I mention that I like my tires.
