Is Life a Still Photo

It was just a billboard picture. Enticing travelers to stop in for a sandwich. But the picture had nothing to do with eating. Two young adults were caught in a snapshot in a moment of fun.

The marketer wants our brain to assemble this formula:

fun = McDonalds

But I contemplated the picture and wondered, Is life like a still photo? Do I have a picture in my mind of what a relationship is? Holding hands on the beach, for instance? Or what church is? A laughing group of people with hands raised in joy?

What comes before and after that picture? That is where life is.
