Let it be known, first of all, that my esteemed colleague’s commentary on my driving is based on the experience of one evening’s wandering around in the dark looking for a barbecue restaurant which had closed two hours earlier. I don’t drive all that furiously, as it happens, but I do get lost a lot.
That is why, in addition to Saint Expedito, I need the Good Shepherd. 
Dashboard Jesus
(Let it also be known that in my understanding of the Historical Jesus, He actually knew where He was going. “He set His face for Jerusalem,” and all that. It is my firm conviction that He neither bobbled nor said, as this statue appears to say, “Where are we? Beats me . . . “)
Meanwhile, for all you no-car, walk-everywhere gentlemen out there, let me suggest these:

For . . . effort, I guess.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
