Following the Model T         
            
   Why do American drivers sit on the left side and drive on the right side? 

   We read once that American horse races go counterclockwise just to be different than our former colonial masters. As for vehicles...

   In 1792 Pennsylvania required buggy and wagon drivers to keep right. A decade later, New York mandated right-side horse and buggy travel on public roads. 

   Automobiles arrived a century later. Some car makes had the steering wheel on the right-hand side. Historians guess that made it easier for drivers to watch out for ditches and the sides of narrow bridges. 

   Then came 1909 and Ford's Model T. It had the steering wheel to the left. A company brochure indicated that passengers could exit at the curb, and drivers would have better sense of oncoming traffic. When the Model T became the best-selling car, other makers followed suit. Simple as that. 

Opposite Works  
    A thought came to me one night. What's the working difference between a sculptor and God? 

   The sculptor works from the outside in. Think Mt. Rushmore.

   God works from the inside out. Philippians 1:6 and other verses. 

   Yes, we take in Scripture with our eyes and ears. But God knows our thoughts, and his Spirit provides our understanding.
