Love is what makes two people sit in the middle of a bench when there is plenty of room at both ends.
Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.
Barbara Johnson (1927-2007) was an American author. Much of her writing reflected a strong Christian faith.

It reminds me of people who sit pasted together in a vehicle (with one of them trying to drive). That was in the days when bench seats were more common than bucket seats. I used to wonder if they would still sit like that twenty years later. One could hope. Oh, I just remembered another thing. This must have been one of my memories from pre-seatbelt days.

Your thoughts take me back to bench seats as well as manual transmissions. In the summer of 1973, my parents loaded up their six children to drive from Montana to California for a family reunion. Eight of us squeezed into a Ford Maverick and no AC.
