Earlier I wrote about my emergency cardiac catheterization which took place in early September. Well, two weeks to the day after I had my surgery, I was sitting at a red light on a dry, sunny day when someone decided to take it upon himself to improve the looks of ol' Bessie here. This was accomplished through the kind and gentle ramming of my car's arse whilst I sat quietly musing about the vagaries of life, or politics, or faith, or all of the above.
Now you might be tempted to think that I behaved well when this happened. You might also be tempted to think that I was rational, clear-thinking and focused; that I was kind and gentle in my response to the driver who hit me. You're free to do that, and thank you ever so much for being such a concerned and caring (if delusional) individual.
Oh, the truck that hit me and the car he pushed me into? Both had very little or no damage. Me? I'm totaled. My neck and back hurt for a couple of days. We'll see how that goes. At any rate, I can't keep my tools in the trunk anymore, especially since it just can't seem to stop raining around here. The car runs, but it ain't exactly legal, and that can't be remedied easily.
Now I've been wondering, what horrific thing is waiting for me next?

I know the feeling of "what's next". but when our last car got totaled by the fourth rear-ender in three years, a brother stepped forward and gave us $5000 for a new used car. Such things do happen within the communion of the saints. God blesses one with abundance and he shares it with those less fortunate. I don't know if that is your solution, but I know God gives us solutions. Let's start there.
Absolutely! My solution is for a brother to come forward with five grand so I can get a decent car. The problem is, that's not always (and is unlikely to be) God's solution.
Thanks for stopping by, bro. Hope to see you here again sometime.
