I remember getting my P plates. After months of driving – and having to have mum or dad in the car, I could finally drive by myself!

So with great excitement and anticipation, I went on my first solo drive. I soon discovered, driving by yourself was really boring. I had no-one to talk to.
Even the radio wasn’t much help – our old bomb only had AM!
We are made for relationships. Even the most intense introvert needs someone to share their deep thoughts with. We are flock animals.
Many great philosophers believe we are so because we were created by a flock God. Not a flock of gods; a God who is, in His very essence, relationship – Father, Son and Spirit!
Makes you wonder. We certainly need relationship to live a life at the top.
Note: P-plates are displayed by probationary drivers in Australia.
