“Open up that secret smile
Filled with pieces of a dream
Let's take a chance on a moonlit while
While there's still time to believe”

A quick look at “Adventure” reveals a dipstick running down the center of her body. Delia told me that a gentleman was walking down their street and found the dipstick on the street. He knocked on the door at the Stewart house and inquired if it was their dipstick. Delia’s husband, Brent indicated that all their dipsticks were present and accounted for. So, the man asked Brent to dispose of the dipstick. It ended up in a pile of stuff in the garage. Delia was inspired to attach it to “Adventure.” Lent is a time to make sure that our “dipstick” is present and accounted for. Maybe we need as Peter suggests to see if we are a “quart low” on dreams.

Peter sings about a mosaic of a smile “filled with pieces of a dream.” It stands to make sense that if smiles are “filled with pieces of a dream” then maybe frowns are filled with pieces of nightmares. I believe I read somewhere that it takes fewer muscles to smile than to frown. Wow, it is harder work to be sad than to be happy.
Peter is right in calling us to take “a chance.” Taking a chance is an exercise in faith. The author of Hebrews wrote, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”( Hebrews 11:1) In the favorite board game MONOPOLY

there are “chance” cards. Perhaps in the “game of life” we should present one another with “Faith” cards. At those crossroads or junctions in our lives when we need to make a difficult decision how cool it would be to have some person share a “Faith” card. Having that card in hand or on one’s heart just might make the difference between a frown or a smile.
The wings of “Adventure” are made from a license plate. License plates indicate where a vehicle is from but probably aren’t such a good indicator of where one is going. As Peter suggests
“Open up that secret smile
Filled with pieces of a dream
Let's take a chance on a moonlit while
While there's still time to believe”
Be sure your dreams are up to the recommended level of the manufacturer (i.e GOD).
