Autobahn

I espied a Chevrolet Cruze with the vanity license plate ATHW25. 'Twas a University of Michigan-themed plate with a blue block M inside a maize field, so taken all together methinks the license plate is meant to be read "MATHW25," meaning the Gospel according to Matthew, chapter twenty-five. Chapter twenty-five of Matthew is divided into three parables, in my Bible given the subheadings "The Parable of the Ten Virgins," "The Parable of the Talents," & "The Judgment of the Nations." I found this a very resonant reading, for I have squandered so much of my life acting like the lazy, wicked servant, burying my talent in a field instead of hustling to increase the master's treasure in anticipation of his return. Thanks, fellow motorist!
