Author's Notes/Comments: 

Today (October 12, 2023) would have been my Dad's 76th birthday.  He was a truck driver and a mechanic and a country music fan.  He had a particular affinity for the old trucking songs that were once a part of the country genre (sadly, country usic has changed so much that most of it ain't even country anymore--but that's a different rant).   Thinking about those trucking songs lead me to write what may be the strangest, wierdest Christian song ever written.  You can hear me play it at https://youtu.be/9N5p2GFu7T8  I love you fine folks, but Jesus loves you more.
