Anyone who has seen this movie, I’m willing to bet, whether they will admit it or not has had a Truman Show moment before. This morning as I was driving to work I had one these moments when my radio momentarily seemed to catch a conversation that sounded like two people on walkie-talkies.
I suppose that some have these moments because they feel like they aren’t in control of their lives or people are hiding things from them. This maybe why for a moment at least I began to think about the trips I have taken in my life and wondered if I was really in Aruba or not. Did they just show a video on the screen for windows on the most elaborate ride ever?
The main reason though for that feeling this morning was simply because life seemed too good to be true. Despite my basement flooding last week and my wife getting sick Sunday night and us not getting any sleep, so I stayed home from work yesterday to take care of her. Despite the traffic this morning that would ordinarily send me into fits of rage because people just don’t know how to drive.
I was struck by happiness and the joy that comes with being me. The joy in having a personal relationship with my Lord and definitely feeling His presence this Easter season. The joy in being with my wife through every situation and growing together. This was my Truman Show moment and I’m happy to say that life is good and that is true!
